Completely agree. Fear and authority are intertwined by nature. I’m not sure when fear became this no-go emotion in the West. Your children should have a healthy fear of your authority over them. It can’t be fear only, but your authority cannot be absent of fear. Their fear should not just be emotionally, but physically as well (spanking). There are far too many “men“ today who have grown up with single moms, who can talk a lot of smack, but have never had another man put their hands on him. Men need to understand the physical realm and corporal punishment from a young age plays a role in that IMO.
