Ah, yes- the belt. Dad used to fold it in half and make a snapping noise. That was enough to get us kids to pay attention. He never had to raise his voice.

Some children and some judges have a too high inflated ego and sense of power. Sometimes they are best ignored or else an overriding force can cause them to reevaluate their stance on things.
Childhood shots, such as MMR, Whooping Cough, Polio and Chickenpox/Smallpox, are Inoculations, and last pretty much all of one’s life. Vaccinations such as the Flu Shots that are recommended each year, are short term, useful for maybe a year. Vaccinations Used to be reliable, but since the MRNA Fiasco, with the higher incidence of fatal side effects, people trust neither Vaccinations or Inoculations. This has caused an increase in certain diseases in several regions, including Measles and Rubella, and even Mumps. Read up on the differences, and of course certify the type of injections you or your child(ren) are getting.
Be informed, and ignore the left on Science and Medicine.
Both are doing exactly as they should. Samuel is, at a young age, starting to exercise his natural, and at times hereditary inclination to question authority. Zed, doing as he should, is providing guidance as needed to keep the young one on track.

Butt whoopin’ when they are young so the don’t need it when they are older.
Raising kids is simple (I did not say easy). Just give them what ever they want. The key is the choices.
A) Behave and obey.
B) Die.
Pick one.
Treat them like little adults from the get-go… or end up with an eighteen-year-old child.
When both child and parent get too old for hand-to-ass whuppin’ then comes the heavy wooden spoon.
They broke several of them on me in my pre teens. They hurt a lot. By my teen years I started behaving. It felt so good when they stopped.
Our job is to raise an adult by the end of childhood. Consequences is sometimes a hard lesson but they are always there.
I remember “The Belt”!
The ‘Belt’, me too. Not sure it worked.

Zar Belk!
That was such a loooong running gag on “Rowen & Martin’s Laugh-in!! 😀
And even Pontiac made a fastback GTO called “The Judge” that came in a burnt orange or yellow paint scheme!!
VERY cool car….neighbor had one!!!
And Taurus decided to rip that off to make the biggest stupidest most useless pos revolver ever produced.
Now there’s ‘coincidence’ for you, just the other day I was watching some ‘pigmeat’ youtube clips…how do you DO that ?
Here come da judge
Here come da judge
Order in the court cause
Here come da judge
I had one of his albums back in the ’70’s and probabaly still do in a box somewhere, I’d dig it out but the clips are online anyway.
Look THAT up in your Funk and Wagnell’s 😉
Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in was great for those. The day after, we’d all be singing ‘Here come de Bus!’ during school days…
As to punishments, R.A. Heinlein’s Starship Troopers(The Book), had the purpose for punishing a child or an adult outlined quite well I thought.

May 25,2021, something of some importance here, that being the difference between Vaccinations and inoculations;

I really prefer Jo’s look and hair color way back there in 21.

RAH, on raising teen age’rs ” Keep them in a barrel! At age 18, decide to either decant or drive in the bung!

Dad never needed a belt, he had a size nine work boot that was surprisingly swift and left you on your face hurt to crap for a day or so
