Hit Children OK?

How can we help children become independent? It takes some trust. Have some faith in kids for what they can become in the future & not for the mistakes they make today. How much time should we devote to farther the education of the youth? The more the time, the better the results. The more, the better. We reap what we sow.
.
Should we hit rebellious bullies & brats & troublemakers & criminals & juvenile delinquents & children with learning disabilities, family problems, & other things? These are good questions. It is true to some extent that if we spare the rod then we spoil the kid. So, of course we must discipline them. That is not the question. Rather, it is a question of how.... or how much do we discipline them? Sometimes, we need to spank kids. But we must do so in love like parents. And teachers must be like substitute parents. They must continue the work of raising the children into maturity. Children are our future. We must give kids opportunities to grow. Should we let them make mistakes? Yes, we need to let them live and learn. They can learn more and grow more through experiences. They cannot just trust you...... they need to learn through some experiences... to some extent. When you discipline people, please be patient and try your best to have conversations with them about why they are disciplined and punished. Why? Because they cannot learn from their mistakes if they don't know what their mistakes are. Too often, parents discipline kids without telling them what they did wrong. Please take the time to be kind enough and hard enough on kids.
.
Please take the time to gain perspective, to see life from their eyes, paradigms, point of view, perspective, opinions..... they are not adults and they are not at that level yet..... give them more responsibilities and jobs and work and chores and freedom, step by step, day by day, year by year, little by little, as they are growing up. People are so important. People begin as children. Please invest in the education of children. Regardless of who you are, you can contribute more to children and therefore to our future for all of humanity for all of eternity. Please smile more and thank you so much.
