Friend I understand your point, but in some instances when a child do what is wrong or something terrible you as the parent give the child a serious warning not to try that same act again next time then it is your duty to promise the child if he or she repeat that same act that will him or her to a certain punishment as the results of disobedience.

Then after that strong warning you gave the child if he or she purposely do that same terrible act is your duty to take action on the child either beating or give them any punishment that will make them cry, That is what the called discipline.
