Teaching Our Children To Forgive
#1
When I got spanked from either a parent or at school all I felt was anger and even hatred. Even if I deserved the spanking the last thing on my mind was forgiveness. As a result when I spanked I wanted to be sure that after the spanking there was no resentment or bitterness. I think if you set the right mood before and after a spanking, a spanking can actually be a tranquil and loving experience. One way of doing this is through prayer and refection. This can be done silently and just asking to be an instrument of God's peace and love will bring a calmness to the whole process. Making sure your child knows that their misbehavior is not who they are and they are always loved unconditionally by both you and God will set the right example so your child is forgiven and can forgive. Also I believed after a spanking little time should be given to feeling sorry for oneself or self-pity. This is unacceptable and can best be avoided by getting on with your child's routines as quickly as possible. Jesus set the best possible example of forgiveness when he died on the cross and like Jesus if all we have is love in our heart, that will transform any resentment or anger into love and forgiveness when we spank our children.
