parents used to visciously beat, whip, switch, paddle, belt, back-hand, kick, ridicule, humiliate, threaten, etc. their kids to get fearful OBEDIENCE and submission to authority - rarely did they teach their kids to do WHAT'S RIGHT! todays parents just let their kids do whatever and rarely teach them WHAT'S RIGHT!
Both styles of parenting are abusive and unhealthy for a child and do not teach the child to know right from wrong.
So what is right?
to teach what is right, you have to either be raised (trained) to know or get some training later on to know what's right. oh sure, you probably think you know right from wrong - but do you?
how were you raised? did you learn about what's right or did you learn to fearfully obey or do what you please?
what's your idea of right and wrong? do you live by that or by the "get away with what you can" rule? do you do what's right because it's 'right' or because it will get you something? should kids just obey or do what's right?
