"I would have smacked him first and then talk later, "Ng commented about a mother who grabbed her toddler away from an on-coming MTR train in Hong Kong.
Parents differ tremendously in disciplinary tactics. Whatever the tactics, the least effective parenting style - I believe - is the parent who is consistently inconsistent. They would confuse their kids.
I also don't believe that nagging and theatening work. The child can tune them out and both child and parent would end up bitter.
I would admit that I do not know everything about child rearing, but I do have the conviction that kids grow up to be the adults we, as parents, mould them.
