We raised six children. They had rules that we expected them to follow and knew what would happen if they did not. Punishment was the taking away of privileges. They were expected to attend school every day unless they were sick or it was a school holiday and to do their chores. They all attended college on scholarships and have jobs that help other people. Children need limits and need to respect those limits. They also need to be respected and loved and taken care of.
