'Each parent is taught to physically touch their child by putting their hand on the child's shoulder, touching his arm or, if he is young, actually sitting the child on their lap. Then the parent tells the child exactly what he did wrong and how valuable and important the parent feels about it - and in no uncertain terms. Finally, the parent takes a deep breath, and allows for a few seconds of silence - so the child can feelwhatever the parent is feeling. Then the parent tells the youngster how valuable and important the child is to the parent.'
