Spare The Rod And Spoil The Child

What is good and what is bad can’t be understood by a child. He tries to do what he feels is good and enjoyable. Sometimes he makes unreasonable demands and presses upon them to get them fulfilled by all the means he knows. If we fulfill such demands, it means we are not sincere with our child in real terms and spoil his habits, making him peevish and obstinate. To make a child disciplined and hardworking, we have to put a check on the wrong demands and wrong actions of the child. Even if we are to use some force, we must not hesitate because if we spare the rod, we spoil the child. Unjustified and wrong demands must be nipped in the bud.
