Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child

Resource Type

Video - Parent

Description

"For generations the Bible, through misquotation and possibly mistranslation, has been used as justification to spank children. Many parents, educators, and clergy have specifically referenced the Proverbs, and in particular the concept of "rod" as permission to hit children with a switch, belt, or their hand as a means of discipline. While this practice is centuries old, many of today's parents feel personally degraded by this and recognize that the violence of hitting detracts from the respect and love they have for their children. This video focuses on the interpretation of rod as a process of guidance and not violence. Appropriate for families with strong religious values." -Child Development Media, Inc.
