[QUOTE="Fran, post: 75605, member: 3"] I'm no scholar of the Bible or even child rearing for that matter. I have to believe the guide line of having no consequences for a child will make them overindulged and not very functional is accurate. The actual way to give consequence is up to interpretation. Back in the day, corporal punishment was the norm. Life was a lot crueler. I don't disagree with the premise of structure, rules and consequence in raising children and how I live my life. I also understand there is a huge difference between a spanking and a beating. The problem is that not every parent has the decision making capabilities to know what is too much. It the heat of anger many a child got more "consequence" than they should have.Frequently. Who can make that decision in anger? Just because we give birth doesn't make us right without question. I don't believe this is a discussion of the bible but a discussion of corporal punishment and how that phrase is used to make a parent feel like they are failing their children. We are somehow not following the wisdom of the Bible. [/QUOTE]
