Also, we need to understand the motivation for the question, because I think this is about the process not about one particular action:
are we talking about a parent who never says a bad word and never punishes a kid, and there is some behavior that you think requires a corrective action?
OR, are we talking about a parent who berates the kid all the time, never says anything good, and now sees that the kid is not listening anymore and the parent wants to hit the kid (more often)?
