I'm not really into quoting other people as I feel independent thought and expression are the best ways to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions. But this quote from John Holt who advocates unschooling just says it all for me at the moment.
"A child whose life is full of the threat and fear of punishment is locked into babyhood. There is no way for him to grow up, to learn to take responsibility for his life and acts. Most important of all, we should not assume that having to yield to the threat of our superior force is good for the child's character. It is never good for anyone's character."
