Where did I say you have to use violence? I think we have different terms of the meaning anyhow.

sorry you misunderstood, i meant people that use violence instead of words as in, instead of logicaly explaining to their children why something is wrong or right, they just try to scare children in behaving.


imo, being a parent is being a teacher. a teacher doesn't beat children if they get a math problem wrong, they explain why the answer was wrong, and show them how to solve the problem correctly. You don't need to beat a child to help them learn math do you? no. and you don't need to beat a child to help them understand any other lessons.

proper communication is a very rare skill i think.
