My dad did not beat me but didn't need to do anything more then give me a serious look to get my attention. I am not sure why kids of today are immune to this?
They aren't. i give my kids a dirty look and they freeze in their place and fix whatever they're doing. If they don't, there's immediate consequences. Children that don't respond to nasty looks are often not taught what they mean. To them, a dirty look is probably nothing more than a weird or scary face. Unless the parents or teachers have taught them that a look means they are doing something bad and there will be consquences, then it means nothing.
