I am making the assumption here that at some point growing up you said something that was disrespectful to your parents, and they punished/disciplined you.

1) How did they do so, if you remember.
2) What would they have done if that hadn't corrected your behavior?
3) What would they have done if #2 didn't correct your behavior?
Repeat until your parents are at their wits end, and have run out of ideas.

We are all doing the best with what tools we have.
