Spare the rod, spoil the child. this is a biblical reference... in this same reference the bible tells that if your child disobeys or disrespects their parents they should be dragged into town and stoned to death. i certainly do not advocate stoning children to death, and as i said before i do not believe in violence. i will say EVERY child is different - and physical violence may work with a small population of kids...but for the most part using physical violence on children to get them to act in a desired manner is wrong. it does not teach our youth the most important skill we need in the adult-world - how to get along with people you do not like. you may have a boss or co-worker someday you do not like - rather than think "i will use violence to get them to behave how i wish" - it makes more sense for the youth at a young age to learn how to deal with those people, and those emotions. hitting is a childish reaction or lashing out to childish behavior - and i have noticed the kids that come from homes which advocate violence are the ones with the worst behaviors and are the ones who use physical violence the most on fellow classmates when they are frustrated. so rather than saying: "spare the rod, spoil the child" - i say..."hit the child, teach the child to hit others." i know it is a side point but something i found interesting and a topic i have strong opinions about.
