What to Do When Spanking Isn’t Working

from Generations Radio · host Kevin Swanson

Scripture commands that we nurture our children in the admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4)—but sometimes it just doesn't seem to work. The panel discusses the place of spanking in the training of children, asking: is it not working, or is it just taking longer than you'd like? They talk about teaching vs atonement…rebellion vs immaturity…changing behavior vs changing the heart…and alternatives to spanking that often render it unnecessary.
