Significance Of Spoiling The Child And Sparing The Rod.

A lot of things has changed in our time, increase in crime rate, indecency, wickedness, you can name it. We kept wondering how and where all these things came from, Some of us that are religious or should I say spiritual have also gone extra mile to carry this issues to God in prayer because of how bad it has become, well that's a wonderful thing. All these things are very good but I assure you these plagues didn't just fall from the sky upon man kind, there must be some place we gave for the enemy to trop in.

I have seen a lot of drama happening in our some families today and I lament for the future, there is a saying, charity begins at home. A lot of negligence has be wrought in so many families. Parents do not know that children are the future, the future is not some kind of occurrence of beautiful better life. No it is that child you have.

I must commend the effort of some parents though, yet in so many families the place of discipline has been taken over by some kind of lies called love. A parent will see his/her kid doing the wrong thing and yet won't punish the act the way it is supposed to be and if you ask them why? They will be like it's nothing afterwards, the stuff doesn't cost much or you will hear something like he is just a child.

When do you think is the right time to discipline a child? It is when he/she has become an adult with children? Any parents who overlooks the wrongs of his child because he or she is scared of harming the child is a wicked parent. In fact that parents hates the child. Even in the bible it is written that God chastise those he loves. There is no love without chastisement.

No human is born good and no human is born evil, it is from this world that we will learn all that we will ever become. If you inculcate good morals through discipline on your kids they will become good when they are grown and the opposite will happen if you neglect the place of discipline all in the name of love.

Can't you see a clear difference between our age and that of our ancestors? In their days discipline was key, you dare not do nonsense and go scot free, it's a lie, you will be brought to order and you will amend by force. Neglecting wrong deeds by children is not love at all, you are killing the child.

But let's balance this, spoiling the child doesn't mean you should kill the child, I have heard and seen some parents Bater their children as if they were the cause of their problems in life. Discipline doesn't always mean, beating, you as a parent should be able to know what breaks your children, that should be what you should use. And if it must require flogging, you don't have to transfer aggression to them. A lot of people get it wrong here and I think we should learn from that. Don't over look their wrongs, yet correct in love. Don't kill your child.

Here is my story
I am purely for spoil the child and spare the rod, the reason is because if we don't fix the children when they are tender, if they grow, we will never be able to do it again. It can only take the mercy of God to regain them.

I have been hearing of children beating their parents and I wonder, how and where is starts from , until a day I went for a wedding and a saw a child whom I suppose to be between the age of three or four, playing with his mom and I was enjoying the scene and thanking God for such a great love he bestowed on mothers for their children.

My attention was keen to them, while they were still playing, she was calling him sweet named and the lad was just smiling and covering his face out of shyness. It was not that long when the child started asking for his dad and telling his mom to take him to his father, she tried all she could to calm him down but it didn't work.

Then next thing I saw was the young lad slapped his mom and said, with anger take me to my daddy now! Hai!! That thing really touched me and I was watching with keen interest to see what the mother would do and guess what? Before he slapped her she was struggling to carry him up but when he did that, she brought him down and slapped him bag after which she looked for a cane of his size and did the needful.

After beating him, while he was yet crying she took him and said never slap mommy again, it is wrong, if you do so I will beat you. She took him and cheered him up. I love what I saw. I believe that even if that child is given a packet of stick sweet to hit his mom again, he will never do that.

These are little things some parents ignore and they grow up as traits in their children and later affect the whole society. When your child goes wrong correct him instantly, let him know that it is wrong so that he will not repeat it again.

You don't just pray for your children to change, you work on them while you pray. Worst of all, to wish your child becomes good, if you are like that, you will raise the most dangerous child in the world. The spoiling of the child here may sound harsh or inhuman, but it is not what you take it as, this is what we need for a better society. It is the only true channel for raising good children.

Thank You For Reading

I agree with you that some parents replace discipline to prayers especially some of our African parents. There are basic things parents should do rather than making it a prayer point. Like in Ur story, I love the way the mother corrected the child and showed him love thereafter. No negative habit should be ignored for any reason otherwise it becomes difficult to correct at the long run

People will not do the right thing the time it is needed, when it goes bad, they will start praying and wishing God do a miracle and if it doesn't happen, they say God has Forsaken them. We have this children with us, they assume whatever they do is right, if parents overlook them, they will definitely continue in it because it is right before them. This is why they must be corrected, sometimes even with whip.

Thank you so much for coming around mom.. I feel loved honestly

In different cultures practices vary. However, one constant is that parents need to nurture, guide and instruct their children. That will never change it is necessary for their development.Prayer alone will never work - parent must be vigilant and play their role.

The story of the boy hitting his mother is very interesting. I wonder how he learnt that?

Very true, parents must play their role first while praying.. it goes hand in hand.

Seriously, I was wondering same too, but like they said, there is no smoke without fire.., trust me, the child must have seen it somewhere very close...
