You should raise your kid to respect and obey you because he loves and honors you.
If you beat your kid he only obeys you out of fear.
But if you like your kid fearing you instead of respecting you then what I am saying will make no sense to you.
The fear of God, is the beginning of wisdom. Do you think they meant live in fear of the Almighty smiting you? Show me a person that does not fear his parents, I will show you someone that lives without guardrails in his life.
When your child reaches for a hot stove, do you not slap his hand?
