I'm thinking of parenting with tough love.
Do you mean that you are going to be tough with your kids?
That is correct. I will raise my children to be more independent.
You might have a plan there. It seems kids these days are raised too much like they are very fragile.
It's better for them to be strong willed than a wet blanket.
I agree with you, but also think about this in a way that will cause them to respect you. Please be kind too, and just remember they are kids not little robots.
