Good morning Nlanders.

What is the best way to correct a child?


The bible said 'spare the rod and spoil the child', but here in African many parents, foster parents, grandparents and guardians have taken their own wiping (not sparing the rod) to an extreme level; this is reflected times without number on the news, for instance you'll see something like; 'A woman damages the skin of her nephew with cane' also the case of an uncle that used cane (rod) to destroy the body of his under 10 years old niece is a perfect example.


I think children should be wiped (caned) right. Because most times too much wiping makes children to lie and pretend. Bring a child close and correct him/her when he/she is wrong and cane only when right.


So I say, what do you think about this fam?

Let's talk about it...

Don't spare the rod

Do more of counselling than caining

Children of these days are no longer afraid of constact caining

You can as well deprive him or her of favourite things, why you get for the obedient ones

You can still make promises and fulfill it when they achieve a goal

If you must cain, do so when and where necessary and he will feel it because its not regular

Always remind him that the cain needs to be warmed and give him to keep it
