[QUOTE="Thess, post: 73372676, member: 414289"] Having been beaten with garden hoses and everything up to garden hoses, I can assure you that physical harm at this stage of his life will do one thing....create a murderer of self and other people. People talk about the "rod", but nothing in my imagination can ever envision Jesus laying down a beating on ANY child for any reason. My father beat me with a belt....he almost had his throat cut that night. He's very lucky to be alive, so unless you want to put yourself in danger by causing physical harm, I do not ever recommend physical beatings. Become confident and use words; use the power of your mind to get what you want from people. It's easy....you just have to believe correctly. Once your belief system is in tact, everything else will fall into place. I cannot imagine why anyone would choose otherwise. We could become mature and confident ourselves, so as to learn how to help our children and others through genuine love and encouragement, or we could pick up an object and strike a little child with it. Man, that's just insane. Children aren't committing adultery. They aren't even capable of committing the kinds of sins that adults commit, and if the parents get to go unpunished all the time, then why should a child be struck....EVER? Do you guys have any idea of what it does to our minds, to see adults do so much more crazy and insane things than what we children have done? How does that work? Adults get drunk and wasted, yeah no problem, but if a child slips out a swear word, they receive soap to tongue followed by washcloth? I'm telling you that our hypocrisy is destroying our children. Being a child in a "Christians" home almost guarantees a difficult adulthood. So please don't use a "rod" on your precious child. If I could council him, I would give him my time, my effort and my mind. He would receive my ears, for I would listen to him, build him up, show him that it is true, which is that he really is important. And while your son is at a point of needing desperate help, you, mom, MUST learn what it is to be confident so that you can pass along that life-giving mindset to your son.
