We have both a nanny and housekeeper (not live-in, part-time), and I would never think to construct this ludicrous advice. It's hard enough even with that help. Kids have their own minds and personalities and methods of coping with a vast world they just don't understand and can be overwhelming. One-size-fits-all suggestions such as "never punish" just trivialize how complicated little human beings really are.
