CORPORAL PUNISHMENT VS LETS MAKE A DEAL PARENTING STYLES

This past weekend, the black gossip news outlets were abuzz regarding the arrest of megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar. Pastor Dollar was arrested for allegedly physically abusing his 15 year old daughter who wanted to go to a party after 12am.

When it comes to parenting, there are two camps whereby the more common method of permissive parenting gives children far more leeway in making decisions that traditionally were reserved to the biological parents.

The other involves to adhering to old traditional methods of rewarding good behavior and utilizing corporal punishment for bad behavior. The following quotes from the King James Bible.

	Prov 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (diligently)."
	Prov 23:13: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die."

Which camp do you belong too?
