Raising children

Violence is not at all needful in raising a child. Violence has always been a negative word so why apply this to a child? In the first place the child is young and too weak to face violence. We can always discipline the child without even resorting to violence, nevertheless this does not mean the child should not undergo proper spanking. I believe proper spanking is not at all violence but rather a form of disciple which will mold the child into a good child that will delight not just his parents but the Lord. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction will take this away from him. Depending on the gravity of the child's mistake he should be punished. It does not mean spanking him all the time. Sometimes mere admonition will do. Violence is not an act of love but spanking when done the right way is always an evidence of love for the child. It shows the parent does not want his child to be wayward. It means the parent wants to train up the child in the righteousness. If the child is left unpunished even if he commits wrong, this means the parents does not know right discipline. Children brings sunshine into ones home, if we will treat them with violence that is already child abuse and deprivation of their right to live in a happy and peaceful environment.

Even i too agree my friend, because it is not the way that we should handle the children in that way. We do have lots and lots of ways from which we can raise our children which is without violence punishments. You should know what are the needed things which attracts your children first. Then plan your self then you can proceed further.

i agree with you and totally dissagree with that statement as well... i do believe you eventually have to use a little punishment here and there when needed but not unnecessarily all the time.. that's not right and it's not far to the kids... but they do need a little sometimes...
