My mother flogged the hell out of me when I was still a kid. She so much believe in using the rod to train kids and correct them as punishment when they do something bad. Parents today doesn't use the rod but mostly ground their kids when they do something out of the line.

Are for or against disciplining kids by rod?
 
"Spare the rod and spoil the child or spoil the rod and spare the child". These are the exact words my mom used to tell me whenever she was flogging me. She told me that if she spare the rod, I will be useless in life and she doesn't want that. Thanks to her, I am not useless.

For me, I can't kill my children with rod but I will make sure I give them the dosage of that rod when they really misbehave.

I'll never forget that wise word - "Spare the rod and spoil the child or spoil the rod and spare the child". If my mother pampered me, I would have been a useless man today. I'll bring up my kids the same way my mother did me.

Parents of today doesn't pay much attention to their child upbringing. They pamper their kids too much which makes kids today become so arrogant. I support using the rod in a just manner when disciplining kids.

Even though children of nowadays are seeing this 'spare the rod and spoil the child or spoil the child and spare the rod' as an archaic words that needs to be banished but it only takes wise parents to know that the words are more powerful while implementing it.

It's why when I see parents who never paid much attention to training their kids in the right way start wailing, I don't feel any pity for them.
