Small paras on spair the rod spoil the child

Answer:
This statement stresses the need of physical punishment to children in order to keep them on the right track. But the question arises if it is a right method to correct the children. Children are after all not criminals. It is absolutely wrong, and psychologically too, to use a rod for erring children. Physical punishment is no remedy to reform the children. On the contrary it kills their delicate feelings. They become used to physical punishment and grow to be hard-skinned. Physical punishment is a brute force. It compels them to fall into our line of thinking though they remain unconvinced in their heart of hearts. To use physical force against them is to take undue advantage of their physical weakness. Nobody would dare use physical force if they were physically strong and could hit back. It is their helplessness which we exploit when we give them physical punishment. Children who are spoilt can be prevailed upon otherwise also. Instead of using the logic of force, we should use the force of logic to bring them around.
