discipline

Problem: Many people will agree that for many children a simple “time out” or punishment by not watching TV or no candy simply won’t work. The rod accomplishes things much faster and better. But many will say that even the toughest and most stubborn child to teach can be taught without physical force, and could probably refer to many professionals who have dealt with such successfully. I clearly remember someone who said something along the lines of, “Yeah, ‘spare the rod, hate the child’: how many have beaten their kids to death or made them bleed and said that they were just doing it for the kid’s own good or that they didn’t realize they were going too far?”
