Trembling- Trembling parents are afraid of everything. They make all parenting decisions based on a fear of negative impact. A short list of things to be afraid of... public schools, liberals, gays, drugs, vampire movies, Halloween, Santa Claus, "bad" kids....
Behaving- To avoid negative consequences, you've, got to "make those kids behave!" You are most likely church going, home-schooling, clean-living, Bible reading, non trick-or-treating, conservative parents. It really doesn't matter what your kids think or feel. All decisions made are based on outwardly doing the right things.
Controlling- In this household, Mom & Dad know best.
