    The goal of parenting is to create self-sufficient virtues in children. Applying external pressure and punishments tends to teach them fear-based compliance rather than the internalization of moral standards.

        Not true, especially when the lesson (reason for the discipline) is combined with the punishment. Punishment not for the sake of punishment but to reinforce its rationale and underlying moral reason.

        Maybe your first parenting goal should be to teach them to think critically and for themselves?

        Aren’t those synonymous with conservatism?

        Not exclusively. Conservatism can cling to obedience, tradition and religion, sometimes to its detriment.

        Parenting is hard. Kids are complex. Everything in love not anger (easier said than done). Do your best, be open minded that what you’re doing might not be the best- think & communicate. Take this God given responsibility & privilege seriously but don’t be too serious about it.

        Not applicable to small children. They don't even understand what they are seeing.

        Applying pressure & punishment also braces them for the realities in the world around them. Half of that reality is the world "may" appeal or "may not" to their finer sensibilities, but consequences mirrored in youth of disobeying a parent, are reflected when confronted by law

        Would it be fair to at least consider that some children learn better with a healthy dose of fear and discipline mixed into their learning of morals? Not necessarily torture but a little bit of hardship rather than comfort can build character.
