Are we talking whuppin' or discipline? The discussion and debate have started again and I'm finding so many people on either side of the issue. Is the goal to make them shut up or be resilient and confident do gooders? Do we have the argument, well my momma did it and I turned out fine, or do we say its a different time now? I think both of those arguments are wrong, IMO.
As a parent of someone who hasn't needed discipline, or spankings, I don't have a complete opinion, but what I will say is that my goal for Zoey will be discipline. I'd like to raise her into someone who is full of the fruit of the Spirit and understands her value enough to not compromise her standards with her spouse. But I can't teach what I don't do, so when it comes to these things, the best teacher is me. My prayer is that I'm engaged enough in God so that I abound and can teach what I live.
