This proverb means children should be dealt with strictly at times also to make them disciplined. Pampering and treating them with love may spoil them.
It is absolutely true children if not punished for their serious mistakes, might develop vices in them. For example, if a child develops the habit of getting up late, he may get late for his school. Dealing with such a child strictly may purge him of this bad habit.
Similarly, if a child has developed the habit of wasting his time in useless activities, he may need strictness to make him realize the value of time.
In the chapter, The Little Girl by KATHERINE MANSFIELD Kezia’s father has been described as very strict. He beat her for tearing his important speech. Beating should be done very sparingly. Spare the rod spoil the child means dealing strictly --- not beating or using other corporal punishment. Children should be taught discipline using strictness and firmness; they should not be beaten at all. Kezia should not have been beaten by her father as she had not done anything punishable mistake. She had torn her father’s speech quite unintentionally. She was making a birthday gift for him.
