Levels of Strictness 
 
     Discipline is on one of 18 levels of strictness.  The basic categories are: 
Lax 
Permissive 
Normal 
Strict 
Very Strict 
Severe 
 
Each category has 3 sub-levels.  Levels 1-3 are lax; levels 3-6 are permissive; levels 7-9 are normal; levels 19-12 are strict; levels 13-15 are very strict; and levels 16-18 are severe. 
 
During parenting, which ends by the 25th birthday, the level of strictness is determined by the parent.  But after you have taken over your own discipline, and become self-disciplined, you can absolutely set the level of strictness where you want it to be. 
 
My own level is level 14 -- very strict.  Many years ago, when I proclaimed that my discipline would be “very strict”, I felt the cosmos shift, as it adjusted to the fact.  I had been raised on level 12.
