Is punishing your children the right solution?
Should we scold or punish our children, young or teenagers? This is the question many parents are asking themselves when benevolent education is on the rise.
One of the hardest things in life, especially when you're young, is that there are sanctions. No one likes to be scolded, reprimanded or punished. There is something revolting about being punished for what we have done. We still believe that we have extenuating circumstances. We would like to have a right to error. We want to get the best out of it. As we move forward in life, we realize that the road is fraught with sanctions. There are some rewards, but we mostly find a lot of blame and punishment.
Moral conscience
First, we face the inevitable consequences of his actions. We know that driving while drunk or driving can be punished by an accident and lead to the worst disasters. Punishment does not come from men, but from reality itself. Dreaming of a world where you could do anything without consequence is the illusion of all forms of fiction that make dreams come true. Beyond the reality that imposes its harsh law, one then encounters the imperatives of living together. It is because we are not alone on earth that we need codes of "good conduct." The Highway Traffic Act, for example, allows a large number of people to travel together. Failure to comply exposes to two types of penalties: the accident and the minutes. All laws are made to allow people to live in society. Failure to comply results in sanctions. But there is another area in which sanctions are difficult to accept: that of moral conscience.
Some will say that they do not see why they should accept moral rules or impose obligations on themselves that run counter to what they want to do. They do not see why they should not satisfy their needs, their passions, even their impulses. Isn't that the big problem with education? Should parents punish their children when they do not do what they need to do (work at school, respect others) or when they do the right thing (lying, stealing). Hence the question: should education include sanctions?
Punishments: what does the Bible say?
The saying is, "Who likes to chastise well." He suggests that it is out of love that parents punish their children. And conversely, we understand that the one who does not chastise does not really like. He's resigning from his duties. In the Bible there are several sentences that remind parents that if they really love their children, they must punish them while it is time. For the Bible, punishing your child if he deserves it is really raising him. But beware of corporal punishment that should be avoided.
