"These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.“

Parenting

Proverbs 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.

Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. 14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.

Proverbs 29:15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

SPANK:

Parenting

1) The purpose of spanking is to counteract folly. In other words, spanking should be used in situations of rebellion and willful disobedience. (Proverbs 22:15)

2) Spanking hurts; it does involve a measured amount of physical pain. (Hebrews 12:11)

3) Spanking becomes excessive if it is causes a persisting bitterness in the child. (Momentary anger is not an issue.) (Ephesians 6:4 & Colossians 3:21).

4) Spanking is for "children," toddlers to young teens (Proverbs 22:15, 23:13, 29:15)

5) Spanking is by the "rod," literally a stick of wood, appropriately sized.

BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE:

Parenting

1) Spanking exists to cause a measured amount of pain, not tissue damage. The rule is "sting, don't damage."

2) Spanking should be consistently applied; the child should have a clear understanding of under what conditions spanking will occur.

3) Spanking should be done calmly, without anger.4) A parent should explain that he or she is spanking in

order to teach obedience.5) Spanking should be performed as close in time to the

act of disobedience as possible.6) The child should be told how many swats are coming.7) Spanking should be followed immediately by

admonition, forgiveness, and expressions of love.

COMMON SENSE:

Parenting

Sample Script:

"Dear, you know what mommy said and you did not obey mommy. Now I have to spank you. You know I am not mad at you but you must learn to obey. I will be giving you three swats....

Now why did mommy have to spank you?....That's right, because you didn't obey. Remember to obey your mommy. Now I forgive you. And I love you."
