Time to time this topic either crosses my mind or comes up discussion. I want to bring up Piyo & Jerry in a well disciplined manner. At the same time to beat them for every thing seem little far stretched a concept on bringing kids up. I think there should be logic that he can understand about the punishment – I did this so dad did that; I failed to do that so dad did that, or something similar.

Arbitrary punishments alienate kids from patents & siblings, which is an undesirable side effect.
