“I spanked all my kids - - once or twice each, at most. If you do it early, after that the threat alone is good enough because they know you will follow through.”

Exactly! I never have to spank my kids and rarely have to threaten them now. They know I’m dead dog serious and that justice will be sure and swift. Their job is to listen and obey.

I used to feel kind of sorry for people with out-of-control kids. Now I feel contempt. You can choose not to spank, but properly diciplining your kids is an act of love. Not doing so is abuse.

My 6-yead-old just ran up, gave me the biggest hug and told me she loved me. It doesn’t get better than that!

Yep.
For far too many of today's lazy parents the answer is Ritalin instead of discipline.
It is disgusting.

Pray for America.
