Short or long term?

I couldn't agree more! Allowing a child to be out of control, to behave in any way the child chooses, to grow up to believe that words and actions don't have consequences, that's abuse, that's neglect. Some short term discomfort can save a lifetime of unhappiness. At 60, as an aging hippie, I find myself agreeing with Starr!
