I guess this is not new in our everyday Living. I remembered back then when I would do something wrong and run out through the back door cuts I always new the exactly the kind of correction that came next. It was either cane, horse whip, leather belt, slippers, or shoe.Some parents even use iron as means of correction. But my question is this...its no better way of correction rather than these violence means?
Well as for me, I believe soft words can change their ways and bring out the best in them.. wat do think?

I think it depends on the child. I do believe parents need fear and love when trying to discipline a child.

Parents should try to be moderate in both ways. They should discipline with love just as mild words does not necessarily correct some children. Spare the rod and spoil the child.
