Just remember how my late mum use to tune my ears to multiple channels at a time, after clutching me with her two legs with serious pinching all over my body, ooo my God... Dancing to MJ pop music without being played under the clutch of mum is enough punishment for any stubborn child.
My dad...no go area be that one, he disciplines once in 3 month but waa gbaaa.
I look at children of this days and the freedom they enjoy and the effect on our society,the abolishment of capital punishment in schools have contributed to the rot. Many a parents have spare the rod and spoil the child all in the name of civilization.
Gone are the days where family and neighbours can correct any wrong doing of a child.
I still think the so called old fashion ways is far better than what is obtained now!
NLers...your views!

I think your mum and I attended the same child disciplining school, lol at twisting the ears to multiple channels.abeg nah old school I deyooo.

Hmmm... Western culture have taken over and result is what u see on our street...boys piercing their ears and braiding hairs.
The ladies are crying not being married after exposing it all.
God save this generation and the ones to come.

That would be corporal punishment. I sure hope no one is inflicting 'capital punishment' on their kids.

Is twisting of ears or hitting or beating a child discipline? What i observe about this...is that many children do go through pains, they feel hatered towards the beater(parent-dad/mum),they fear,the become pretenders and this has made many children to lock up their life from their parents.They do stuffs behind their parent but if parents are around,they put themselves right.
