THE OTHER CHEEK
From an advertisement for The Rod that appeared in the magazine Home School Digest. In December the Consumer Product Safety Commission rejected a bid to bad the sale of The Rod, having found "no basis for determining that the product constitutes a substantial product hazard."
Why a rod for training?
The means prescribed by God: "Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Try the rod out on yourself ahead of time to determine how much force you should use to get the result you require.
- Chasten on a clothed buttock with the appropriate number of swats. Three to four swats is suggested.
- Console the child afterward and affirm your love for him. This will give you an opportunity to "check his heart" and show the child that chastening is a form of love.
