YOUR CHILD IS NOT STURBORN!

      YOUR CHILD IS NOT STUBBORN; HE/SHE IS JUST BEING UNWISE
  Most times we over- beat our children because we think they are stubborn. No. Your child does not know as you think he/she does. He/she does not understand the implications of what he/ she does. Do you still remember you did even more than you flog those children about? You did it then not because you were stubborn, but because you did not know the much you know today; you did not know the implications of those acts on you and your guardians. But today, you understand better and may never want to remember those acts again.
    Do you remember you don't even understand why your husband/ wife does somethings you hate sometimes? Because you do not operate in the same level of understanding. He/ she view that subject differently. It is the same with children. In fact they operate in a very low capacity of knowledge compare to you. That is why you are sometimes so irritated by their actions.
    The Bible tells us that foolishness is bound up in the heart of children. It says the rod of correction would drive it away. What is the rod of correction? It means correction based on this knowledge that your children do what they do because they know very little (read Prov.22:6, 15).
Your children are not possessed by some evil spirits, neither are they actually stubborn. They don't know much. Therefore beat them mildly. Use the cane sparingly. Beat them with love if you must do, and that when you are less angry, not when you are furious. Ensure you explain to them why you beat them.
