About every five minutes, just to be on the safe side.
No reason for them to get away with anything.

Cat is in the running for ten points for sure right now.
I loved the observation that you can't talk to a child like an adult.

The problem is that the average parent whips a child to prove something or when out of control. He doesn't have the patience to bear with a child's disobedience.
It is his childlike inability to resist temptation. The whipping is not an act of cruelty, but rather an experience designed to counterweight the aspect of temptation in the future.
My father whipped me constantly when I was young, and even well into my teens. I would be 16, bent over a bed with a belt slapping my butt hard, because I had done something so "innocent" as just talk rudely to my mother.
My father also devoted himself to me entirely in recreation, attention, etc. etc. etc. He would have never gone fishing with buddies instead of playing with me.
He was rigorous, but patient, and devoted.
You should whip a child for all rebellion. Whipping is not what undermines them emotionally.
The problem is the whole spirit of impatience and violence displayed by many parents.
