All mothers threaten to have the father beat them if they do not behave. That means they would either slap their butt, hit htem with a belt, or slap their face a few times and that is no longer allowed. You can discipline your children, even hit them slightly, but if you leave a mark it is assault and child abuse. That is why it is hard to get children to do anything any more since there are few punishments. You can take away their privileges or ground them, but that is had to do also. Children do not trealize the importance of a good education, hard work, and not getting into trouble. They do not appreciate he consequences of their actions. They are influenced by their peer group and in some places that is a bunch of thugs who think rap music and gang bangers is the way to be cool. There are many kids who dress and act like rappers to be cool, but after they get arrested a few times and have a criminal record they find it hard to get a good job and they become real criminals. My advice to you is to improve your language and communication skills, get a college degree, respect your parents, get a career you love, and do not commit crimes.
