i some how believe in the cane. even if it is to threaten, ie whacking the floor. yes, caning, medicated oil, knelling at altar etc were the type of punishments during my era. looking back i think it did my siblings n i alot of good. my mom was the most feared person at home, but she has the kindness heart...haha
so ah siao, 'torturing' is also love la.
i dont know what type of punishments parents give to their kids nowadays. less pocket money, curfews, less tv hours???
