Our mission here at WCDT is to help families realize they are not on their own and give them advice that is true and also biblical. Many of the topics we cover are opinions and mostly controversial. Our point isn't to say something is "wrong" or "right", it's to guide people in how they can change to better things. For instance:
many think spanking is the right way to go when disciplining your child. We aren't saying that is wrong and biblically incorrect but we are giving a new perspective of it. If you are considering using this disciplinary method please consider the following:
1. what are your motives behind this method? Do you feel it is easier? Some people believe their kids won't listen any other way.
2. your kid is different! Many parents claim "my parents did that to me and I was raised well so it must work on my own kids" and then their left confused because it didn't work. No, there is nothing wrong with your kids. Every kid is different even though parents think spanking works for everybody. Some kids just can't learn from physical hurt and that's exactly what discipline is! It's a learning tool not a power
3. talk with your spouse about if it is the right way to go. Sometimes your heart will lead you a different way.
4.pray. The best thing to do is turn to God and make sure you are not just doing it because of anger or to make it easier.
maybe you will read this and decide spanking is still the right way for you, and that's fine. Our goal isn't to sway your opinion but to show you that it isn't the ONLY way.
