When I was a kid I behaved because I had a strong loving relationship with my parents and I didn't want to dissapoint them. Making them angry wasn't a big deal, but when they do the guilt trip, "I'm not angry I'm just disapointed..." Always got me good. But it was because they treated me well and I didn't feel like I was in a semi-war with them in what I could get away with. We had open discussions all the time.
One time, when I was like 6, I even punished myself before my parents even found out. They asked my why I was standing in the corner, and I said because I stole a toy from my sister. I knew it would disapoint them as soon as I did it (but impulsiveness of a kid I did it anyway, then it hit me several seconds later).
