Pro 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Pro 23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Pro 19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.


A little advice that might help someone.
Mom(or dad). It's a command in the Word of God to spank children when necessary;(Proverbs 23:13,14) and according to the Word of God, it's normal for kids to cry when they get it. (Proverbs 19:18) So If one parent is giving Junior a spanking, and you begin to get upset because your little angel is crying, try to control yourself. If it starts to get to you, leave the room, and if you just HAVE to say something, limit it to something like"I told you not to do that, Junior". Because when you go defending the child and questioning your spouse's motive, you are causing the KID to question him/her as well...."is Mom/Dad really right in doing this??" "do I really deserve it?". If you don't know what the whipping is about already, or if you disagree that it was justifiable, please wait until you and your mate can talk in private. The child KNOWS when you are in disagreement and he's going to take SIDES. It's kind of like one parent is the judge and the other is the defense attorney. The child doesn't care whether he is guilty or innocent.....all he knows is he doesn't want a whipping. But when one parent starts defending the child every time, the child ends up losing respect for BOTH parents. He'll go back and do the same thing again because he knows one will rescue him again.
And please, do not "coddle" the child after the other parent spanks. The first show of affection that child needs after a spanking, is from the parent who did the spanking. He needs to know you still love him. Kids need to see mom and dad in harmony with one another....When the child did wrong, there needs to be no doubt they did wrong. But in the event the spanking WAS unjust, please apologize to the child. And of course, in the event of obvious child abuse, the other parent should step in.
