I believe words are very powerful and pointing out they will either make or break a person especially children...I grew up in an environment where I experienced both the power of words and punishment...the power of words that did actually bring out the value of knowing what is wrong or right because once I did get to understand my mistake there is a feeling of guilt that creeps in just by how my parents expressed their disappointment.
And I donтАЩt disagree fully with the idea of physical punishment maybe the extent of harshness does bother me but I see it as necessary when it comes to discipline and maybe my advice is adding the idea of getting the child to understand why they are being punished.As the Bible says тАЬspare the rod spoil the childтАЭ is very accurate in my opinion
Wow, Juliana.
This comment is powerful and insightful. I like how you broke it down, and it is very much relatable in personal and public fashion.
Can ask a question?
Take this last insightful statement "How simple words offer far greater lessons with far greater impact than a powerful cane with a weak lesson"
Is it true that words have greater impact?
In anyhow, can you take that small "rubber- band question" and expand on it?
Thank you Tobi for this beautiful poem!
