Proverbs 13:24, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.”
I agree, the discipline must be out of Love or righteous indignation, as prescribed in the above Scriptures, and not fear or hate -- then it's considered abuse. Like beating that behind and cursing out the child at the same time..lol I also consider a child has a mind of their own and can rebel. In all, I believe God's Word is a good foundation... they won't ever depart from it, no matter how hard they try throughout their life!
Yes, I agree. My momma use to beat my butt and for every hit, she had a word....I agree, the discipline must be out of Love or righteous indignation, as prescribed in the above Scriptures, and not fear or hate -- then it's considered abuse.

I got punished and beatings on occasion and some times a combo of both, lol.
Yes, I'm a beleiver...
Sometimes a firm talking to can be just as effective, but with different children different methods of discipline may be necessary.
The Lord reproves and corrects us, so we should do the same with our children and sometimes when we make decisions independent of God, the repercussions can feel like a beating.

I so agree with this... especially the bolded. I grew up with an "island hand," so I got a combo too. Sometimes even the 'silent look' was effective...![]()

I strongly support disciplining children when necessary but I do believe some parents take it too far and are abusive. I believe cuts and bruises are abusive and appalled at some of the instruments some patents use to "discipline" their children. Some ppl beat their children like they're slaves![]()
For Christian parents, I believe it comes down to righteous indignation -- as opposed to anger or fear, which would be the root cause of abuse, IMHO. But, excellent point....
By "instruments" do you mean a belt or switch??
Yes, I agree. My momma use to beat my butt and for every hit, she had a word..... ie: "didn't
I
tell
you
not
to
do
that
....."

She called me by my entire name (which is lonnggggg by the way) and I knew it was over for me. Mommie would pull that switch from the hedges and tear my little chubby legs up.
That's when I did the hit and kick dance.![]()

Everytime "Mommie" would hit my legs with the switch, I'd do a kick. The faster she hit, the faster and higher my kicks and my legs were moving like a pair of chubby scissors with red welps.
I think that's how I became a 'Dancer'. My Ballet kicks and plie's are skilled.![]()

No, unfortunately I've seen people use extension cords. I used to witness my uncle beat my cousins terribly growing up, and I can still remember how terrified I felt. Some of those beatings were justified with Scripture.
