Does he study children? The parenting schedule I have heard before is
(1) Young children are compelled to act by rewards/punishments.
(2) Older children are compelled to act because they respect their parents' directions, even if they don't understand or agree with the directions.
(3) Young adults choose to follows their parents because they understand and agree with the directions.
The point is that young children are just not cognitively able to appreciate adult reasoning. Yes, it's great if we can get 2nd graders excited about multiplication tables, but that's usually not possible.
