Discipline and corporal punishment
by Biji George on Jun 25, 2007 03:33 PM

Hi,
I am a doctor and find this argument amusing.
I have come across many young adults nowadays in my practice who are maladjusted because of over indulgence by their parents.
Discipline is a must and some children only need to be told to follow it. Others require more harsh measures.
It may seem cruel, but we live in a harsh world and on growing up, they will learn that values taught while young hold them in good stead in their adulthood.
Otherwise we will create a generation just like the Americans, just wanting instant gratification of desires and no sense of family and community spirit.
