The never-ending work of a father is to teach his children that their actions have consequences. They might not be immediate consequences, but they will happen. This is why we spank at very early ages: to add immediate consequences to certain actions. As they get older, we hope they have internalized this to some extent, but this work never ends. You must show them where their actions lead through conversation, teaching, and other forms of punishment.
