All the senseless beatings did to me was make me want to challenge rules that are vague and unclear.
When you really sit down and look at it, just about every rule is unclear because there's no way to anticipate every single situation that can come up.
Natural language is very imprecise and can lead to a LOT of uncertainty, especially for children.
Please try to break it down to your kids as much as possible what different words mean and what they should do. They haven't had enough life experience to fully understand what's expected.
