About repealing the “anti – smacking law” in this country, about restoring parents’ right to smack their children, I am reading in the paper. (The Northland Age, Thursday, April 6, 2017)

The reason for that is that the “anti – smacking law did not work.

Let us see what the Bible says about disciplining children:

The Bible commands us to discipline our sons. Proverbs 19:18

If we discipline our sons, they will give us peace and bring delight to us. Proverbs 29:17

We are also told that we hate our sons, if we spare the rod. Please read Proverbs 13:24

The Bible teaches also that the rod of discipline will drive folly far from the heart of a child. Proverbs 22:15.

Punishing a child with the rod will not cause his death, but will save his soul from death we read in Proverbs 23:13,14

“The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother,” says the Bible in Proverbs 29:15

The fact is that the “anti – smacking law” had seen greater violence towards children, I am reading in the article called “Return to smacking.”
