Discipline?

During the past few years, every time I have spent some time with children, I wonder how parents are raising their children. I do not have children, so I do not have first-hand experience. But I just am concerned. Sometimes I am even present with both parent and child, and the young one does something rather evil, but nothing is said or done. I guess I am even more thankful for my parents and how they raised me. To quote Martha Stewart: discipline, it is a good thing.
