“For parents it is central to the task of childrearing”.

Not anymore; or at least only for a few. Most children are now brainwashed before the critical age of 5 years in the Albanese kindergartens and schools, while Mum is out at work helping in the struggle to pay off the mortgage and cope with the Albanese-created cost of living.

It is good to teach our children moral values! But not via indoctrination or brainwashing or erasing critical thinking. And fundamentally teaching them by example, do unto others as you would have done unto thee.

Children learn at their Mothers knee, by example and experience/their environment. Be a good person, say what you mean and mean what you say.

Do not repeat you cautions but follow through with your warnings. If a certain action is threatened with time out, then that must occur. No ifs, buts or maybes.

Do not threaten them with Father and teach them to fear and hate the male parent. That is not being a good person or parent.

Dad should approve of the discipline and back your actions so as not to create a wedge little people can use to avoid the consequences of certain actions!

Being good was given the perception as being weak by the parasitic Left !
