This seems to happen more often in a stricter church, where the father is strict. But again, it seems to be becoming less common in our current time. Also, it can happen when the father is over-ambitious in that he wants his kid to be the best, say, in a certain sport. Probably more common for us to understand. Whatever the reason for this kind of attitude on the part of the father, it is Biblically incorrect. And it has always boggled the mind that in stricter churches fathers have justified their strict upbringing of their children. Of course, it depends on one’s view of strictness in what one allows for their children. But another way to tell if the father has been too overbearing, it has been personally observed, is that generally the male children will sometimes bully peers or siblings. This is unfortunate, and when it is seen, it is often also noticed that the father appears to be strict. Certainly, there would be others reasons that bullying by children could occur.
