This sounds like a contradiction. Because you are "way too strict" is probably why you would be a good parent.
Having said that, don't knock the "ignoring bad behaviour" method completely. There is actually some method in this. When a child throws a tantrum, quite often it is a call for attention. How do you show this is not the right method for getting attention? Ignore it. This is obviously not a catch all and goes hand in hand with a quiet discussion about why it is unacceptable, but I think that discussion is best carried out at home.
