Love, real love, not just the word, gets you further than any kind of abuse. I never had children, but I have my fair share of experiences with dogs. And love is also the ultimate respect you can show any being. Good intentions are understood, even by animals. Why should kids be any different? I at least remember my parents with fondness, since they always took time to tell me why I did something wrong and not just took a bat or a belt to me. As I said before, the stories my father told me from his own life, still stick. Just stories, but they made it clear why it's a good thing to listen to your parents and their experiences.
