I think it's best to educate children on understanding and leveraging sull'indulgenza rather than fear punishment. The duty of a father is to accustom the child to do well, naturally, rather than fear of others. In this differs from the parent master. An abuse of power after another is the story of the life of Gavino Sardinian boy, in constant humiliation under the thumb of a father master until a final showdown that will allow young people to break those chains. There are many, I believe, readers will recognize in this summary the story of the book by Gavino Ledda, self-taught writer, and the subsequent intense film by the Taviani brothers, just under the title of Father Master (1977). Yet it was already in the second century C. that the Latin playwright Terence warned parents to educate their children with no fear of punishment, but with the conviction and values \u200b\u200bto bear. Its passage reproduced above can be commented with the words of Saint Paul to the Ephesians: "Children, obey "But your parents in the Lord, ye fathers, provoke not your children, but let them grow in the discipline and teachings of the Lord" (6, 1.4). Here, the balance - often difficult to win - is right here, avoiding two extremes. The first is to exasperation, excess correction, authoritarianism, or worse, family violence, especially by his father's master. And do not evoke oriental costumes and remote to see how this shameful abuse of power and even bloodshed also pollute our Western families. But there is another extreme to be avoided: the Apostle, in fact, urges us not to exasperate their children, but also to make them "grow in the discipline" (The Greek paideia). In our day, many parents start off on the path of permissiveness suits them and their children, beautiful then when you get dramatic results. In short - as he wrote the German poet Wilhelm Busch nineteenth century - "is not difficult to become a father be a father, this is difficult."
