SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD


        In the past it was believed that the parents and the Teachers must be strict with children. Otherwise, the children would be spoiled. A child was continuously beaten so as the keep him away from negligence and bad habits. But with the passage of time, it is believed that a child has to be treated as an individual and that he has his own special needs and desires. Education today primarily caters to a child’s needs without too much use of the rod. Corporal punishment has been abolished in schools and the emphasis is on treating a child with sympathy and understanding. This helps in the development of the child’s personality.
