A heartfelt exhortation in which every syllable was stressed caught my attention:

- Honey, you know what your mother said, but you didn't listen to her. now I have to spank you. You know, dear, that I'm not angry with you, but you need to learn obedience...

The child did not answer in the face of the coming punishment, because it was just a doll. What about mom? She was four-year-old Lauren. It was obvious that she was imitating her mother's voice and behavior.

Lauren learned to punish her dolls by watching her mother punish her. She tried to imitate her mother. Her mother understood that Lauren had powers that dolls didn't have. She knew that her daughter's behavior had a certain moral connotation. Lauren was not morally neutral. Her bad behavior was contrary to the law of God. Her heart made a conscious choice in favor of good or evil. Her mother also understood that punishment and correction are useful not only for the present, earthly life. Any earthly punishment presupposes a great day when the destinies of people will be determined forever. Lauren's mother wanted her daughter to be ready for this day.

I was struck by the clear structure and indulgent manner of this imaginary discipline lesson when I listened to this little four year old girl. All words of exhortation were accurately and correctly retold. Lauren has heard them many times. There was no anger in her voice, only firmness and determination as she prepared her "child" for what was to come. The purpose of the punishment was also clearly defined: "You must learn obedience." There was nothing in the behavior of this little girl imitating her mother that could look like mistreatment or mockery of an imaginary child. However, in our society, any corporal punishment is considered cruelty and an insult.

The world of ideas is constantly changing. Ideas and ideas have periods of their popularity and oblivion. Like color combinations that go in and out of fashion in the world of clothing and jewelry, some ideas sometimes gain a special popularity and then lose it.

The rod as a method of punishment is very unpopular in our time. Had I been writing this book in the 1950s, the section on communicating with a child would not have been of interest to the average reader. In those days, no one talked to children. They were taken, according to John Wayne, to the woodshed for punishment. The father was strict and silent and did not talk much, but used his muscles when it was necessary to bring his son to order.

We now live in an era in which ideas about human rights and dignity have shaped the idea that corporal punishment is a barbaric method of education. We have become quite sensitive to possible manifestations of child abuse. We don't want parents to think that they have the right to hit their children whenever they feel like it. Today, communication based on mutual respect and integrity of the individual is the most popular idea, which is why it is so easy to write about this topic.

Reasonableness of punishment

Questions about physical punishment fill our minds. What can be achieved through punishment? Is it really necessary? Can't you find something better? What is its purpose? Will our children be offended and angry with us?

Nick, my church friend, and his friend Angela visited us one Sunday afternoon. While we were having lunch, one of my sons was disobedient. I took him to one of the rooms on the second floor, where there was no one, to punish him.

- What is he going to do with it? Angela asked.

"Probably spank him," my wife replied, stating the fact.

At that moment, my son's cry could be heard downstairs. Angela ran out of the house in a state of alarm and great excitement.

What was her problem? She did not understand punishment from a biblical point of view, so she felt disgust and anxiety about my actions, which seemed to her too cruel. Her reaction was not, however, unusual.

The essence of the problem

What is the essence of the child's most important and basic need? If children are born morally and morally neutral, then they do not need punishment and correction, but guidance. They do not need discipline, but instruction.

Of course, children need instruction and guidance. But is the lack of information their main problem? Will all the problems suddenly disappear as soon as they can learn something? Of course not!

Children are not born morally and ethically neutral. The Bible tells us that "the heart of man is deceitful above all things, and exceedingly wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9). The child's problem is not a lack of information. His problem is that he is a sinner. In the heart of the prettiest baby lies sin, which, if allowed to blossom and bear fruit, can lead to eternal destruction.

The rod is used in this context. It touches the needs within the child himself. These needs cannot be met by mere conversation. Proverbs 22:15 says, “Foolishness is attached to the heart of a young man; but the rod of correction will remove her from him.” God says that something is wrong in the heart of the child (youth). Stupidity, or recklessness, nests in his heart. This stupidity must be removed because it puts the child in a very dangerous position.

Throughout the Book of Proverbs, foolishness is used to describe a person who has no fear of God. A fool is one who does not listen to reproof. A fool is one who does not submit to authority and authority. A fool is one who makes fun of the ways of God. Such a person has no wisdom (the fear of God).

A foolish person is guided in his life only by his desires and fears. This is exactly what you see very often in the lives of your young children. The most commonly used phrase that can be heard from the lips of a three-year-old child is "I want ..." or "I do not want ..." The fool lives in momentary desires, lusts, expectations, hopes and fears.

This is where the question of power and authority arises. Will the child obey God and therefore his parents, or will he be his own head and be guided by his desires and passions?

This is the natural state of your children. It can be skillfully hidden under a mop of tousled hair. You may not notice it in the baby's wry smile. In their natural state, your children have hearts that are filled with stupidity. Therefore, they resist the correction and correction of their behavior. They express their protest about your attempts to lead them. Watch the child who doesn't let his mother put on his hat before going outside on a winter day. Even this infant, who cannot express himself clearly or even clearly understand what he is doing, shows an unwillingness to be directed from outside. This stupidity has become attached to his heart. If allowed to take root and grow for fourteen or fifteen years, it will produce a rebellious, undisciplined teenager who will not obey anyone.

God determined the rod, or physical punishment, to be a means of correcting such a pernicious condition. Physical punishment, delivered in the right manner (described in chapter 15) according to the teachings of the Bible, drives foolishness out of a child's heart. Direct and very tangible physical punishment makes a nasty, naughty child very affectionate and sweet. I have seen this principle in action countless times. A small child who refuses to obey power and authority is in great danger.

The rod is designed for just such an extreme situation. “You will punish him (the child) with a rod, and you will save his soul from hell” (Pr. 23:14). The souls of your children are threatened with death, spiritual death. Your task is to save them from death. Proper and timely use of the rod is a means of deliverance.

This determines the function of the rod in the upbringing of children. The rod should not be a means of venting parental anger on a small, defenseless child. It must be applied by faithful parents who recognize the precarious position of their child and apply the God-ordained remedy. This is not about the persistence of parents who are trying at all costs to achieve obedience from their children, but about the fact that children must be saved from death - death, which is the result of a heart rebellion that remains without punishment.

Purpose of the rod

What is the purpose of the corrective rod? How does it affect the child? In Proverbs 29:15 God says, "The rod and reproof give wisdom..." Elsewhere, the book of Proverbs connects wisdom with the fear of the Lord. A child acquires fear of God and wisdom through a rod.

The connection between the rod and wisdom is of great importance. A child who disobeys his parents is acting foolishly. He rejects the authority established by God. He lives for the satisfaction of his desires and lusts. Ultimately, to reject the authority established by God is to choose your own authority, which leads to death. And this is the height of stupidity.

The rod of correction gives the child wisdom. It tangibly demonstrates the stupidity of disobedience and opposition. Punishment, properly administered, humbles the heart of the child, prompting him to heed parental instruction. An appropriate atmosphere is created in which instruction can be given. The rod makes the child malleable and ready to receive life-giving words. Hebrews 12:11 describes it this way: “All punishment at this time does not seem to be joy, but sorrow; but afterward, to those who have been taught through it, it delivers the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

The rod of correction, although it causes pain, still brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness. A child whose parents use the rod in a timely and reasonable manner learns to obey authority and authority.

Don't all children eventually learn obedience? The Book of Proverbs says not everything: “The rod and reproof give wisdom; but the boy, left neglected, makes his mother ashamed. Punish your son, and he will give you rest and bring joy to your soul” (Pr. 29:15,17).

God commanded to use a rod to punish children. This is not the only tool you use in the matter of education, but it must be used. He tells you that your children have needs that require the use of the rod. If you want to save your children from death, if you want to uproot the stupidity that is attached to their hearts, if you want to give them wisdom and judgment, then you must use the rod.

How to use the rod?

The rod should be used by a father or mother who, believing in God and being faithful to their children, take responsibility for using physical punishment carefully, timely, moderately and wisely to emphasize the importance of obeying God, thus saving child from further dwelling in stupidity and recklessness, leading him to death.

Parenthood

Let's look at the definition of the rod. By definition, the rod is a manifestation of parental authority. All the verses in the Bible that strongly advise the use of the rod place it within the framework of the relationship that exists between parents and their children. God's command is, "Punish thy son..." The Bible does not allow any adult to be involved in the corporal punishment of children. Such punishment is one element of a wide range of parental responsibilities. It does not exist on its own.

This is one of the problems with corporal punishment in schools. When a teacher tries to spank one of his students, such punishment goes beyond the parent-child relationship. Only the father and mother who comfort their child when he is sick, who take him to the amusement park when he celebrates his birthday, can spank him. Such punishment is very different from punishment carried out by an outsider.

Act of faith

The use of the rod is an act of faith. God commanded to use it. Parents, using the rod, show obedience to God. They punish their child with a rod, not because they understand one hundred percent how it works, but because God commanded to use it. The use of the rod is an expression of absolute confidence in the wisdom of God and the superiority of His counsel.

Demonstration of fidelity

The use of the rod is an act of fidelity towards one's child. Recognizing that there is hope in punishment and refusing to take part in the death of their child, parents punish him. It is an expression of love and devotion.

Many times children have seen tears in my eyes when the time of punishment comes. I didn't want to punish them. However, my love for them compelled me to fulfill this duty. I knew that if I didn't spank them, I would be disloyal to their souls.

Responsibility

The use of the rod imposes liability. This does not mean that the father or mother wants to punish their child. The use of the rod signifies that they are determined to obey God. They, being God's representatives, carry out in the name of God what God has called them to. Parents do not fulfill their own will, but the Divine commission.

Physical punishment

The rod is the careful, timely, moderate and controlled use of physical punishment. The rod should never be used to vent parental anger on a child. With its help, one cannot vent anger and disappointment on children. The rod is not a response to the feeling that your child has let you down and caused you trouble. Punishment should always be moderate and controlled. The parent must know the exact measure of punishment to which his child should be subjected in each particular case. Then the child, in turn, will know how many more blows will follow.

Rescue operation

The use of the cane is a kind of rescue operation. A child who needs punishment has become alienated from his parents because of his disobedience. The purpose of physical punishment is to save the child from further foolishness. If he continues to remain in this capacity, then his death is inevitable. Therefore, parents, moved by love for their child, should use the rod.

The rod emphasizes the importance of obeying God. Remember that the problem is not that the child did not listen to YOU. The only reason a child should obey mom and dad is because God requires it. Disobedience to father or mother is, therefore, disobedience to God. That's the problem. The child did not obey God. He did not do what God commanded. If he continued to do so, he would expose himself to the greatest risk.
