Is physical discipline of my child considered abuse?
Proverbs 29:15, 17To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child. Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind.
Proverbs 13:24Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
The Bible clearly advocates discipline of children, even physical discipline. But it must be measured and done with restraint and in love, in a manner that in never borders on abuse or physical harm. “Discipline” that comes from anger can often lead to abuse and violence.
