Kids are like puppies..
You don't have to spank your puppy more than a couple of times before it understands it is to go outside to go to the bathroom..
If displine is provided early and properly, it will have served its purpose..
But to never actually punish the child...timeouts while they cry in the corner..what?...or send them to their room with tv, PlayStation, computer and phone is not going to cut it..
Parents want to be buddies more than parents these days..
The world reflects what spawns out of that..
Let the beatings begin! Lol
