The OT is an example to the church. It says, "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him"
I whipped my two kids. The boy is a PK, a minister who married a PK, & my daughter is a PK who married a minister.
I believe if you do things God's way He will aid in every way to make it work.
I have to, because I didn't always get it right.;)
Quick - tell me before I figure it out - what is a PK?

Proverbs 13:24 says; "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them."

However, Proverbs 22:6 promises; "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

That being said, by following Proverbs 22 we never have to enact Proverbs 13.

Every child is different and responds to different kinds of discipline differently. I have 6 kids and don't believe there is a "one size fits all" method of discipline. The key is prayer and diligence in how to discipline each child.
I totally agree with you. I have a 14 year old who is mature beyond her years and a 16 year old who is going on 13 at times...if you know what I mean. Different discipline for each of them.

My oldest boy Homeric has been acting up recently. My boyfriend (who is not Homeric's father) has suggested I should hit/spank or otherwise physically punish my son.
Should I?
I love my son so much but his behaviour has been reprehensible.
Theres got to be a better way I dont believe in punishing children in that way my Dad hit me under orders from is second partner. I resented his partner and ended up in a children's home because after that I just wouldn't listen. Luckily I never forgot i wasn't alone.everything a test of you and your partner and your children, club together and be patient it will come good. Hitting kids will just mess with your head when looking back .😊😊😊

Proverbs 22 absolutely does not mention those "middle years" between childhood training and mature age.

Those years are a disaster usually.
