What a horrible mindset where fear and respect are confused.
Normally fear and respect wouldn't have to be inter related, but children at a young age aren't developed enough emotionally or psychologically to understand respect. But they respond very well to..er..lets say 'primitive stimulii'. A little spanking, or more, can go a long way to correct behavioral problems.. There is an old English saying, spare the rod and spoil the child. Worked then, works now.
