I feel like if you don't do this stuff intuitively, you can't really learn it. My only data point is my SO. No matter how many times I try to coach my SO on these very simple parenting rules, she just doesn't get it. She makes threats she cannot follow through with, she doesn't think of simple "if you do this then we'll do that" tricks, and doesn't use the simple 1-2-3 timeout method. All that stuff seems very intuitive to me. But I think some people just don't get it and never will.
