Define "firm discipline". Does it mean assaulting a child that is not instantly
obedient to your commands?
Define "develop normally". Does it refer to a child whose spirit is broken at
an early age so that they depend on Authority?
Define "make trouble". Are you talking about a child's refusal to submit to
Authority?
Define "parenting skill". Is that how you refer to traumatic child abuse that
creates new generations of Authoritarians and child abusers?
