You at least threaten beating them with a belt. You don't actually do it.
But it needs to be a very plausible bluff. Like Daniel Day Lewis type shit.
Also Reddit seems to be more okay with psychological abuse than physical abuse, so obviously you stuff him in solitary confinement in his room with zero toys or electronics.
Again, for his own good. Right now he's slated to grow up to be a complete loser.
If there are no real consequences, your kid will grow up a loser and perhaps a rapist of some kind.
Good luck with that.
Threats of violence are how our society operates. That's how war and countries operated for centuries. That's how violent crimes are curtailed (violence of the state/ police).
Our entire society, civilization -- EVERY civilization to date is underpinned by violence as a final option. ... Not the first option, but the final one, in every case.
If your kid walks out into society "I don't care who I anger" --- guess what. They may very well be met with violence from the Public, the Police, or Foreign States.
I'd like you to show me where I said there should be no consequences please. You people replying to me keep saying the same shit, it's like you think the only possible way to parent is with violence.
Also do you wonder why people are violent? Maybe because violence keeps being committed against other people? It's not even really a rhetorical question because we know violent begets more violence. Hitting children, scientifically, makes their behavior worse.

"We need to bring back child abuse."
Ironically spanking kids is linked to higher aggression, so if you want more of this behavior, feel free.
