@oluwoleolaide I have heard of Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child. I was actually considering bringing it up in this post. There are degrees of beating, but can't say under what circumstance I could fathom agreeing with beating a child. Beating comes in many forms, as @saramiller mentioned in her comment.

Would you care to share more about your last sentence? I feel there is something of great benefit to explore in your statement. I truly appreciate your contribution to this discussion.
