 We are All Born in Sin having a sinful Nature .
<p>
We are Born selfish and hateful by Nature .
<p>
 Correction is necessary to Transform a Child from behaving naturally.
<p>
 Animals are instinctive. They do what they do without thought or intent. They act naturally.
<p>
A Child who is allowed to act naturally Will Manifest the Sin Nature they were Born with.
<p>
Today, there is a Philosophy that Children can be corrected without corporeal punishment .
<p>
The object of Correction is to Change behaviour .
<p>
There are some Children Born with meek malleable natures. Others are Born with Strong Wills and have belligerent Natures .
<p>
One of the most important things to Teach a Child early-on is ~what No means~.
<p>
I have yet to See a Child readily accept the concept of No . This again is natural .
<p>
A Child who is Never taught No early-on would turn out to be incorrigible .
<p>
That Child would be selfish, hateful and cruel.
<p>
A Child with a meek, malleable Will could be taught the meaning of No with a minimum of stress on the Child and the parent.
<p>
However, the Child with a Strong , belligerent Will would exact a high toll of stress on themselves and the parent.
<p>
A belligerent Child Will Win most battles of Correction by attrition. 
<p>
They Will simply wear down the Parent because of the other demands on the parent`s time.
<p>
Even if the Parent Wins a battle once in a while, the same Issue Will be revisited Time and again until the belligerent Child gets its way.
<p>
~Don`t make me have to tell You again~ has no meaningful force behind it to the belligerent Child . 
<p>
They Know You <b>will</b> tell them again. They also Know that any punishment meted out Will be trivial.
<p>
So, how do You correct the belligerent Child ? You break the Spirit of belligerency.
<p>
Categorical, non-negotiable boundaries are necessary for a well-adjusted Humans to Manifest .
<p>
Otherwise, the Child challenges those boundaries whenever it suits them with inevitable conflicts requiring stress and Time resources to resolve.
<p>
How do You break the Spirit of the belligerent Child ? 
<p>
You administer corporeal punishment consistently until the Child Submits to the Authority of the boundary.
<p>
This is generally painful for the Child and the Parent , but it accomplshes something that lasts - self discipline.
<p>
Once a Child starts disciplining themself the stress is minimized for them and disappears for the parent.
<p>
In order for Correction to produce a self-disciplining Human there must be Respect for Authority .
<p>
In order for Correction to avoid being cruel it Needs to be applied Only for fundamental Principles - things that are really important.
<p>
Always remember the goal of Correction - to bring a Child into a mature, functioning member of Society .
