taking this approach eliminates resentments which can further deteriorate relationships.

also, this approach makes you part of a support team for your child rather than an adversary. We all know a secure child is a much better adjusted adult.

when my youngest was in grade school for example she was know to have the strictest parent of all her friends yet no hitting and no punishments. consequences

it's not semantics, it's approach

Agreed, if you can achieve good results with love why resort to physical beating. In fact you get much better results with love (storge to the Greeks)
