Just wait until your father

"I've told you the last time
about that. The very next time
it happens, you'll wish you had
obeyed me-"
Apparently, the children half
way believe such statements. They
can recall occasions when the
threats were actually put into
execution, and they know it is
possible that it will take place
again. But threats never inspire
respect nor obedience. They only
put temporary fear into the hearts
of the offenders and make them
a little more wary than usual.
Threatening to punish, without
following 1t up in case of con-
tinued disobedienee, is of no value
whatever. A child soon finds out
that he has nothing to fear from
mere threats. When child is
warned against a certain misde-
meanor or neglect of duty it
should mean something to him.
He should know that the next in.
fraction will bring down the conse-
quences upon his head.
Threats at best are weak out
bursts of vexation. Continued
threats that are rarely carried out
are worse than no discipline. Think
twice before you threaten, and
then don't.
