Your analysis is perfect, it's exactly that. I've really changed the way I see the education we give our children, before I thought it was all about threatening or slapping, but now I'm talking a lot more, trying to be a friend, a father who cares, so I've been talking a lot with my children.
It doesn't always work haha, but I think it's better to do it this way, to talk and show them that they can trust me and that I'm there for them and for them.
