My mom can beat more than Mike Tyson but I no die instead I am better for it.

My teacher in secondary school will beat me if I buy complete sports and today's sports, he will still beat me the next day if I do not buy because apparently he thought I was going to buy hence he didn't.

Today I regard him as one of my best teachers and was telling my daughter about him few days ago. Beating when done for correctional purpose and in love is very very good especially for stubborn cows like myself.

You should rather talk to the child or have a way of communicating your disappointment over things that child does.

Don't spank your child except it's absolutely necessary. In very very rare cases. Very rare. But I think you shouldn't do it at all.

notice kids are better behaved in school than at home, visit their school every teacher has a cane in his/her hand.
Even if you don’t spank them buy cane keep for house … the fear of being spanked makes kids behave better.

angry Cos we pampered nowadays kids, see their behavior compare to 80s kids.Ask yourself why some of us born in the 70s removed our eyelids,head hair and put it under the carpet /doormouth for our parents to step on? Why do we do wrong and hide under the bed/ran go grandma for protection? The FEAR of KOBOKO /cane is the beginning of WISDOM. In those good days, it is compulsory to come to school with that brown long cane. Flog that demon of uselessness outta ur kids now b4 they become unruly, brats tomorrow. Imagine u talk to ur son and he slap u. Train ur kids now

Apply Wisdom to Your spanking make sure it’s for behavior that is utterly unacceptable and totally unruly, Don’t over do it Na your pikin Na Jones e Jones e no kill person, As a parent you should try as much as possible to understand the different phases of your childs life and be able to wisely dish out punishments that will suit the situation REMEMBER YOU WERE ONCE A CHILD

I just spanked my 9 years old boy last night when I came back to here that he had the effronty to slide the gate open, and joined some neighboring kids in playing just outside the gate. He was the eldest in the house as at that moment so no one to fear. But when the younger ones reported him to me, he felt so bad and was already crying. I almost pitied him. But it was already too late as the Cain had to come out. And "Sorry..." was his new name when I was done with him. He also had to write an undertaking declaring that he will never open the gate and step outside again whenever Daddy and Mummy are not at home. We will have to look at the letter later today because of his ongoing exams in school. The letter will be read out and signed in The presence of everyone in the house tonight. This letter will go into his file and come out again whenever he does such a thing again. Of course he can never try that again.

You can even communicate with a 1yr old and he/she will understand. All you have to do is to device a means. A 4yr old is old enough

The reason your dad gave them such warnings was not because they could inflict injuries on you, it was because he didn't want them to grow up and become women beaters. It wouldn't have stopped with you. They probably would grow up and end up beating their wives and see it as normal, after all their sister collect from their hands and nobody admonished them. Kudos to your dad.

Spanking is biblical and morally justified.

Those that were not spanked yesterday are the problems of today.

Many young parents of today do not know how to train their kids even when they want to, simply because their parents did them a disservice by sparing the rod while raising them.

I’m certainly not inherently against it but there’s a limit. I hate to see parents disrespect their kids and channel all their anger to them. Luckily Nigerians have thick skin but nonetheless there’s a stark difference between discipline for the sake of discipline and abuse.

I have seen numerous debates about whether disciplining a child by spanking him or her is right.

Some parents are for it, while some are against it. Only parents can finally decide whether to spank their kids or not.

But it must be known that whichever way you choose to train your child will definitely reflect on how your child treats you tomorrow.

The honor you get from you child as a parent will be as a result of how best you were able to inculcate good precepts and concepts in that child.

Here is what the Bible says about spanking a child;

" Children just naturally do silly, careless things, but a good spanking will teach them how to behave." Proverbs 22: 15 GNT

Another translation puts it this way;

"A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away". Proverbs 22:15 NLT

Yet another interesting translation puts it;

"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him". Proverbs 22:15 AMP

It is important that you start disciplining your child when he or she is still little.

Don't copy deluded cultures that enthrone children who bully their parents, all in the name of legal protection or human rights.

The rot in the society is directly linked to collapse in family values.

However you choose to train your kids lies in your hands but if you want the truth, this is it; spanking kids is a good way to make them behave.

ES
Lovely piece you've written here, even though a good spanking is needed from time to time as the Spirit leads, most persons really don't under what the scriptures mean by "rod of correction". Its not actually a physical rod with which to beat or whip, it's actually the tongue. You'd be amazed that they know and understand fully well what you're communicating to them regardless of their age.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't trash them good when they over do

Parenting is a skill.

Sometimes the fear of being spanked is enough to make kids behave.

You spank some kids and you give some other kids harsh dressing down.

It all depends on how the child responds to you.
