When i was a kid, i received strokes of lashes till i got so used to it. It wasn't the best way to discipline me though.

I will discipline my kids but with words. I think words have a way of going straight to the marrow of a child and will help the child a whole lot.

Always preventing a child from doing something without telling the child what the consequence that thing will be. For example, parents to female will be like " do not let any boy touch your breast" if the female child asks "mummy why" they will be like, "shut up and don't question me". I think it is best to give a child good reasons why he/she should or should not do something.
