strict ≠ abusive
My parents weren't abusive but I still learned all of these except 'manipulate to calm down'...
The difference can often be negligible to a child's eyes depending on how 'strict' lessons are worded or otherwise expressed. If it is always with scolding after a lack of instruction turned in to idle entertainment that went awry, it sometimes doesn't really matter how relevant the information was.
So, like they said, it's not about being strict, it's about how that information is presented....
