Consequential learning works well on children....discussing and explaining
to a two year old is futile, useless, and a waste of energy...and
dangerous....better to learn cause and effect early than later on or never
(which seems to be the case with many children these days if the school
system is any indicator)....

The old method I was brought up with is still the best... do what you're
told or get a beating. The day you can make your own rules is when you have
your own place and support yourself.
I moved into my own apartment at 15 yrs old, had a job working evenings at
the local theater and went to school during the day. I bought my first car
at 16 and my first boat at 17.

This modern day molly-coddling is what's wrong with the kids today.

You don't beat 2 year olds...if your parents beat you at 2 then shame on
them....has nothing to do with modern day anything...babies should not
ever be beaten...12 years olds...now, that could be a different story....
