New school versus old school parenting

**Greetings! **

There's this saying that goes like this Spare the rod and spoil the child. Do you think is still valid in this new school parenting?

This proverb goes straight to parents and elderly ones. Sparing a rod to spoil a child simply suggests that a child should be disciplined inorder to be a responsible child in the future because a stick can only be bent when it is still fresh but when dried, can't be bent anymore.

This proverb is never valid in this new school parenting and I am saying this with every boldness. Alot of parents are contributing to their children irresponsibility today. When I was teaching in a secondary school, a woman followed me to school to warm me not to every beat his child and that's so bad of this new school parenting.

Do you think that the parenting style of parents in the past was too strict compared to the parenting style of parents today?

Yes, the parenting style of past parents was quite strict but it was and will forever be the best. That is the reason their way of life is quite different from ours because their training and discipline was a genuine one.

I have shared on the first question how a parent followed me to the class to warn me from beating her son on school. They parenting style of then can never be compared in any way to the style of parenting these days and I have more fears for the generations to come.

Which family were you raised in? In your opinion, were you raised correctly?

I can testify to the fact that I was raised 98% correctly by my parents even though the remaining 2% goes to my mother for her little way of pets but my parents entirely were very strict with me while growing up. I was disciplined in the right way and I'm seeing the good results and effects today in my life.

My parents never spared us whenever we do something very wrong, they correct us immediately in the hard way, letting us realise our mistakes beforehand and I pity parents who were peting their children because if you see some of them today, it's a great pity.

In your opinion, should we return to the old parenting style or stick to the new parenting style?

I give a big yes to the above question because it's just the best way of training a child. My problem remains that, children are already spoilt so taking them to that old parenting style of living will definitely be a very difficult thing entirely.

I urge every parent to train up and correct a child before he or she grows to a point where nothing can be done. Thank you all for reading to this point, I invite my friends to join this amazing contest too.
