Reply To: chinuch and discipline nowadays

always ask questions: it doesnt make sense to suddenly from being a {control freak dictating monster and} controling mother to a helpless mother who will just be mafkir her kids, no way will i stop being mechanech my kids with the torah way of reward and punishment. if the only time for punishment is when they run in front of a zooming truck which will kill them and even then just a nicely friendly talk, they will just grow up hefker kids etc.

ignoring trouble and not even yell just a simple talk for danger of danger, running to a zooming truck, is just liberal discipline and against the torah way in general an chasiddish way in particular

just to understand: i dont sit the entire day punishing, i only do it when i have no other choice
