Spare the rod and spoil the child
This is an old-time saying and represents the ideology based on violence. It is criminal to beat a defenseless child. Psychological research has proved that punishment in any form cripples the personality of the child, Crime is born when force is used to suppress natural emotions. It often results in neurosis in later years. It has been found in practice that only those, who have themselves been treated unkindly in childhood, advocate this dictum. Those who have their reason for them know that to use the rod is to spoil the child. Examples can be heaped to prove that the use of rods has been harmful and there would be not a single instance to show that the use of rods ever brought more than temporary advantages.
