Season 1 Episode 273
Spare and Spoil
13 Don’t fail to discipline your children.
The rod of punishment won’t kill them.
14 Physical discipline may well save them from death
Sometimes you need to punish a child with a smack. A smack will not kill your child. But a smack will teach him the right way to behave. And your child will learn how to live wisely. Your punishment now may save your child from a much worse punishment later in life. You could even save him from the evil behaviour that might cause his death.
Perhaps you do not need to hurt your child in order to teach that child. The law in some countries may not allow you to hit your child. But you must teach your child. And you must stop your child when that child’s behaviour is wrong. Then the child will learn to do the right things.
Think about this: Do you know someone who physically or verbally abuses a child? If so, you need to step in to protect the child. We’ve seen many times that God defends widows, children, the poor, and the helpless.
You might make excuses like, “I’ll be told it’s none of my business,” or “He’s just toughening his son up.” But that’s no reason to stay silent.
If you’re worried about your own safety, you don’t have to get involved directly. You can tell the child’s teacher or a pastor. By law, they must report any abuse to Social Services.
