What "club" are you talking about? 

Part of teaching is forcing them to do things they don't want to do, like chores. 

Scare tactics achieve a whole lot.  They help reinforce behavior, including behavior related to work ethic.  If the kid doesn't fear consequences, they will say "screw you" when you tell them to clean their room. 

Do you have kids?  If so, what method do you use to teach and reinforce behavior?   

Club = christian

telling a child theyre going to hell reinforces work ethic?

telling them jesus is watching will make them consider others?

Id have more faith in humanity if christians put their kids in front of the tv and let Barney raise them...you're blinded by your beliefs so im wasting wind, but let it be known...christianity is the 'fault of our world'

you just cant/dont want to accept that, because that would involve taking resposibility for your actions..and we all know thats what christians are hiding from

surprise! You didnt think we knew that did ya

ps...i would never bring a child into this world

I'm a Christian. 

I've never told my children they're going to hell.

Telling my children Jesus is watching does help them consider others. 

You don't know what my beliefs are, so you have no basis to say I'm blinded by anything.

Taking responsibility for your actions is something I constantly preach to my children.

I'm glad you haven't brought a child into this world.

Some clubs believe in censorship instead. If they can't see it, or hear it, they can't think about it huh?

My kid has never once uttered the term 'screw you' or anything similar to me. Quite frankly, when I told her to clean her room she just did it. Granted it may have been 7 hours later - but she did it. To 'teach' behaviour - teach by example I am keen on.

Figure of speech.  My kids have never said anything like that to me, have never thrown a tantrum, in public or at home, and do what I say, for the most part.  But we started training them before they were a year old.

I'm a firm believer in leading by example too, but I doubt most parents can simply tell a kid to do something without having the threat of some form of punishment in the background.

has this anything to do with that shaking the hand of six people thing?
