SPANKING A CHILD

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT SPANKING:


“Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.” (Prov. 19:18) 


“He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.” (Prov. 13:24)


“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” (Prov. 22:15)


“Withhold not correction from the child, for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die, Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (Prov. 23: 13-14).”


“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” (Prov. 29: 15)


“Because punishment against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”(Ecclesiastes 8:11)

“Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shah give delight unto thy soul.” (Prov. 29:17)

HOW TO SPANK:

1)Never spanking in anger. Most parents spank their kids when they are angry. That is child abuse. They allow the anger to build up, instead of quickly responding to misbehaviour. They allow misbehaviour to go so far, instead of quickly punishing it, before anger has a chance to appear.


2)Not using the hand: The hand is relatively heavy and can cause harm to the fragile column of a developing child. Specially a toddler. You don't want to harm your child, but to correct him, to keep him from harm. So use a thin and light object. Like a thin stick made of wood or plastic which will sting but not cause actual harm, in the rear of the child. It's better to spank the child than to insult him or yell at him, or be mean to him.

3)Never insulting, disrespecting the child. When you spank the child for disobedience, you are doing your duty, and it must be done calmly, not in anger. When a policeman gives you a ticket, he does it calmly, without insulting you, without getting angry. He's doing his duty, and he doesn't need to get angry. It's nothing personal, it's the just punishment for a transgression. In the same way, you ought to punish a child for disobedience immediately, without anger, or yelling. That way he will learn to obey immediately. When the child sees you angry at him, it transmits the wrong feelings to him.



4)Be consequent. If you warn the child that he will get punished if he does something, then follow through with your warning. Otherwise you are teaching the child to disrespect you, and this is not in the best interest of the child.


5)Spank always right away, when wilful disobedience occurs. If you spank your child right away, you are training him to obey you right away (which is the desired objective of training). If you spank him when you get mad and crazy, you are training him to only listen to you (and other people) when you are mad and crazy. If you spank him at the fifth warning, you are training him to disobey you 5 times before he listens. You want immediate obedience? Spank immediately, when disobedience occurs. This should stop disobedience pretty quickly, and when it has stopped, there is peace between you and the child.


6)Agree with your partner not to contradict each other. Children are smart: They will try to get their way by asking one parent to contradict the other parent. If mommy says no, they go to daddy, to try to get their way. They use one parent against the other, to get their way. Agree with your partner, or with whoever else in the house is an authority (grandparents, maybe) to never contradict each other. If a child was told he can't do something, and he goes to the other parent to try to get his way, he should get a double spanking. 



The author of this book has 5 children, and all of them are walking with God. Here they are:

Dr Benjamin Spock, another author, was the best-seller ever, on the subject of child training. He advised against the Bible, saying you shouldn't spank your children. He was a non believer in JESUS, and his grandson committed suicide by jumping off a building, a children's museum where his father was the director.

Formerly in the United States teachers punished misbehaviour in school with spankings. But today you need the police in schools, since teachers don't spank any more. Many young people in schools behave like wild animals rather than people, and teachers have their hands tied, not being able to give them a good spanking, to teach them not to exhibit criminal behavior. People think that by spanking the unruly ones, they will harm their personality and their creativity. This change in mentality happened in part thanks to Dr. Benjamin Spock who wrote the most famous and popular child-rearing book ever, "The common sense book of baby and child care". About Dr. Spock, it should be known that he was actively opposed to Jesus Christ, and to the Christian religion. This book convinced parents that spanking was bad. But unlike the Children of Michael Pearl, who advises spanking, children who are godly, happy and prosperous, the grandchild of Dr Spock committed suicide by jumping off the building his grandfather helped start.
