Exactly. The idea is not to figuratively beat the child into submission by making him/her afraid of punishment, but to give the child a sense of security, and the self-confidence to express him/herself in a way that doesn't interfere with other people's right to express themselves, and to enjoy their lives. You don't get that by making the child afraid of you.
