I WRITE re the letter from Angela, (LT, January 22) entitled Trouble Kids Need a Short Sharp Shock". I agree with every word that was written.

How lovely to hear someone expressing commonsense. Of course children need loving discipline combined with acceptable rules of behaviour.

Parents today dare not say no to their children. The children rule the house, telling the parents what they can and cannot do.

Foul language is the norm in many homes. How sad.
