Discretion

I think one's ability to be of repute in the family sense directly relates to one's families ability to keep all appearance of argumentation, disunity, or disagreement beyond discussion completely in-house. I think that extends to child rearing as well and if a parent has to say something more than once after getting the attention of the child then the child is being defiant and disrespectful of loving authority. They should be taken to a private room and explain what they did that defied your expectations as a loving parent then provide a negative stigma, perhaps a tap of a balloon rod to their fat leg, have them showing calm on their face when you walk out of the room and go directly to do what you originally requested that they do. Both ideas are the same principal, let us not seem weak through showing the ways we are disunified in the presence of others or in the case of the child do not allow responsible parenting to become a spectacle that will be distracting from the message. I just felt the need to send this to the Silver Stream via the Realm of Ideas from an Aspiring Dutiful Son.
