Grace-Based or Fear-Based Parenting?

[Uncle Joe]

I feel it is safest to err on the side of grace. Fear-based parenting only creates a wedge between parent and child, souring the relationship. Plus, how we deal with others may be how we get dealt with at the Judgment.

This isn't to say there shouldn't be rules and enforcement of those rules, though.

You GO, Uncle Joe.
