I think part of the problem is that most parents have no clue how to parent effectively. They think that discipline is either threats, physical punishment, or cajoling and wheedling. I think basic behaviorism should be a prerequisite for all parents. Reward behavior you want to encourage, punish behavior (or remove rewards) you want to extinguish. And be consistent. My dog is more well behaved than most peoples' children.
