Does Fear Really Teach Discipline? Why Positive Guidance Works Better

Education and child-rearing require discipline to guide people towards being good citizens by correcting and guiding them. Discipline allows for moral, physical, and mental growth to create responsible adults who impart values to make healthy choices.
