Parents have the best corrective measures to put their children in good order or shape. In the street today, so many children are roaming about just because of indiscipline by their parents. Parents should, most of the time, learn how to discipline their kids just for them to cope with the surrounding environments and with their peers. Lacking discipline can bring about setbacks for the children.
My parents have their ways of talking to me when it comes to the aspect of discipline. I will not stay outside longer. Even though they were the ones who sent me to get something out there, they would still want me to be home on time, or else I would have to be blamed.
Discipline is a boat that can accelerate children's well-being to the true realm of life.
Just today, I had to send my son a message to go to the house and bring me a sponge. Whereas, I had sent the sister to fetch me some water. What I asked him to bring could take him up to 7 minutes, but my boy left and came back within two minutes, saying he did not see what I had sent him to bring for me. I had to tell him to kneel, after which I would give him some walloping.
To be sincere, I cannot joke about the aspect of disciplining my kids. It's just that their dad just knows how to pet them, most especially my daughter. Anytime I'm whipping her, I see the reaction in his face.
He doesn't want me to whip his daughter.
For what my boy had done, I had to discipline him so that he would not try what he had done ever again.
This means the reason for disciplining children is for them to grow wise and never to return to what they had done.
Most parents only use words to discipline their kids, while others use flogging, just like me. I believe that when I use words, they would understand for that moment, after which it would fly off in the second ear. This is why I love using flogging instead of just word of mouth.
Most kids would develop hatred for their parents during the process of flogging, but then to me, I had to tell my child the reason for flogging him or her so that he or she would not go back to it again. I have seen so many parents who turned out to pamper their children. Pampering them cannot do them or serve them well in life, but it can turn them into something we are not expecting. Most parents would say, “He or she is my only child, and I had to pamper him or her just to protect her.” This is what can spoil the child. Even the Bible says, “Spare not the rod and spoil the child.” So, I have to obey that saying because when I spare the rod, I'm sure my kids will turn out to be tyrants.
So, I use a cane to wake them up, but my husband uses his hands to beat them in their buttocks. Anything that would make him use a cane means that the child has gone beyond his or her boundaries.
