Well, I am in no way condoning beating your child for every instance of disobedience, however, I do prescibe to the theory of "spare the rod, spoil the child".
I'm old enough to have seen this first hand. I've seen undisciplined kids turn into "adults" and I'll tell you, I don't like what I am seeing.
