CARE LESS what people think of them. Our society functions best when each child thinks first about how
his behavior affects the lives of others.

Children don't read adult friends, or to be "reasoned" with. They need parents. :-)
I'm with you guys. If a child will not respect his parent, how do you expect that same child to respect any other authority; teacher, professor, police officer, or the law in general.
Proberbs is known as the book of wisdom for good reason.
Proverbs 13:
[24] He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 22:
[15] Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:
[13] Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
[14] Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Please understand that today the word beat has a negative connotation. The context surrounding these verses makes it very clear that this is not the kind of beatings that happen out of rage, drunken or otherwise. The heart and mind of a parent must not be filled with rage or anger when administering punishment.
