Discipline

I have interesting irony to expose to some. 

Here is the modern parental mantra: less discipline is better!  More negotiation, explanation, and peer type friendly relationships are recommended for successful parenting.   Spanking is certainly out of the question!

(I will verify to you that I have never met a person who was spanked by loving parents who thinks it was wrong, in fact they all testify that it saved them from becoming spoiled little brats!)


Modern philosophy has engaged in the subtle art of personal liberty and youthful expression!
 
Yet, as society loosens its grip on punishment of its offspring its generations become more and more violent, immoral and out of control than ever... yet we still believe the lie! 

I propose that an economic analogy might suffice:

As the supply of punishment and discipline decreases the demand for early funerals and jails will increase...

Consider the wisdom of the Proverbs: Spare the rod, spoil the child!
