Answer 1

A spanking may be a lifesaver to a child, for God's Word says: "Do not hold back discipline from the mere boy. In case you beat him with the rod, he will not die. With the rod you yourself should beat him, that you may deliver his very soul from Sheol [the grave] itself." Again, "Foolishness is tied up with the heart of a boy; the rod of discipline is what will remove it far from him." (Proverbs 23:13, 14; 22:15) If parents hold their children's life interests dear to them, they will not weakly or carelessly let disciplinary action slip from their hands. Love will motivate them to take action, wisely and fairly, when it is needed. As regards discipline itself, it is not limited to punishing. Discipline basically means 'instruction and training that holds to a certain order or framework.' That is why Proverbs 8:33 says, not 'feel discipline,' but "listen to discipline and become wise." The Christian, according to 2 Timothy 2:24, 25, "needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed." The word "instructing" here is translated from the Greek word for discipline. The same word is so translated at Hebrews 12:9: "We paid due respect to the earthly fathers who disciplined us; should we not submit even more readily to our spiritual Father, and so attain life?"-New EnglishBible. A parent who fails to provide discipline will not gain a child's respect, any more than will rulers gain the respect of citizens when they allow wrongdoing to go on with impunity. Discipline, rightly given, is evidence to a child that his parents care about him. It contributes toward a peaceful home, for "to those who have been trained by it it yields peaceable fruit, namely, righteousness." (Hebrews 12:11) Disobedient, badly behaved children are a source of irritation in any home, and such children are never truly happy, not even with themselves. "Chastise your son and he will bring you rest and give much pleasure to your soul." (Proverbs 29:17) After some firm but loving correction, a child can get somewhat of a new outlook and a fresh start and often is far more pleasant company. Discipline, indeed, "yields peaceable fruit." "Whom Jehovah loves he disciplines." (Hebrews 12:6) So it is with the parent who truly has his children's best interests at heart. Disciplining is to be done out of love. Anger may be normal when one becomes provoked by a child's wrongdoing, but, as The Bible shows, one should be "keeping himself restrained under evil." (2 Timothy 2:24) After a person has cooled down, a childish sin may not seem so big: "The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to pass over transgression." (Proverbs 19:11; see also Ecclesiastes 7:8, 9.) There may be extenuating circumstances: Perhaps the child is overly tired or does not feel well. Maybe he actually forgot what he had been told; adults do that too, don't they? But even if some wrongdoing is not to be passed over, the discipline should not be an uncontrolled outburst or a blow that simply releases the emotional pressure of the parent. Discipline involves instruction, and by an angry outburst a child learns a lesson, not in self-control, but in the lack of it. The feeling of being cared for that the child senses in well-administered discipline is absent. Balance, then, is essential and promotes peace.
