DRUGS!!!!
WHEN DRUGS ARE A" GOOD THING"....
I had a "drug" problem when I was a young person.
I was "drug" to church on Sunday morning. I was "drug" to church on Sunday night, and I was "drug" to church on Wednesday night.
I was "drug" to Sunday School; I was "drug" to vacation Bible school and "drug" to the family altar to pray.
I was also "drug" to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card or did not speak with respect.
Those "drugs" are still in my veins, and they affect my behavior in
nearly everything I do and say and think.
They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin.
If more children had this "drug" problem, America would certainly be a better place.

My point is that the more rigid, repressive and brutal you are in "raising" children, the more likely they are to (a) ignore or reject everything you tried to teach them, and (b) they WILL COME BACK at you, with whatever means they have at their disposal..."the more painful, the better" in their eyes.
"But suffer not your children unto wrath"...a Biblical verse most often forgotten by those who use the Good Book to justify abuse. Been there.

Additionally, it would seem to me that children who learn only what to do "just because" or because of fear of punishment, don't really learn how to do the right thing and think critically. In fact, learning not to do something because of punishment, means that not only will kids try to do things that don't get punishment (whether or not they are right) but they will try to hide what they are doing. Perhaps later they will openly do things they know are wrong just for such a confrontation. Through all of this, the theme is that there is a war between parents and children and the whole point - to teach children how to be productive and moral members of society - is lost. I believe this ties in to what streetsoldier is saying.
