What are some Creole phrases a strict but loving father would say to his children to correct disobedience.

Oh my! This is bringing me really bad memories of my father. He was the strictest of them all :(
My father never talked. He only used his specially bought rigwaz (rawhide whip). As a pastor he exercised his rights to ex-communiate me and my siblings from his church. He used the harshest punishments...

So... the "strict loving phrases" that you want would depend on what the violation was...
Generally,  I'll say to my kids:

Mwen renmen ou, men mwen pa kontan sa ou fè a.
I love you, but I'm not happy with the way you acted.

Ou nan pinisyon.
You are grounded.

Mwen ta renmen ou konpòte ou byen.
I would like for you to behave well.
