Young children spanked by their parents may perform better at school later on and grow up to be happier, according to a controversial new study that is drawing scorn from critics.

This study will get buried quick.
We took the kids to Disneyland over Christmas and saw a lot of kids who needed to be spanked. BRATS running wild. I always think my kids are ill-behaved until I run into “other peoples’ children.”
No wonder I’m so good! ;-)
I bet. My Dad conducted his own study too.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. If you don’t care enough about your kids to discipline them, it will show, and you will have ruined them.
Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes
Proverbs 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Proverbs 19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Proverbs 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
Proverbs 29:17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
My daughter should be running the world. She received her last spanking at thirteen.
LMAO—I hear ya
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
All good, all wonderful, all true. You took the time I did not, thank you!
