Then again your child can also become corrupt depending on the type of discipline you use.
Let's put it like this.
Everyone needs discipline, whether your an adult ,child or animal it doesn't matter.
People are bound to get out of order based on the decisions they make, and they're consequences for it, point blank.
You mentioned:
"Then again your child can also become corrupt depending on the type of discipline you use"
My question to you is:
Explain what kind of discipline will make your child corrupt?
Discipline is design to correct disobedience.
That's like saying: "A person will be corrupt if the law corrects them".
When you go to work, lets say for an example you get there late everyday.
You might get away with it a few times, but there are records of your lateness and one day you will have to answer to your boss for your actions.
The just recompense for your actions is called "discipline". You will either be embarrassed, possible no pay, or even fired, but there will be some kind consequence you must face.
Does that mean you're corrupt? No! You learn from it.
There are many examples we can use for discipline.
Try going into the Army with your way of thinking, in-terms of how you're living now and see how they'll reshape and mold your thinking according to their way of doing things. They'll not tolerate anyway of your thinking, in-terms of doing what you want to do.
Likewise with a child, discipline doesn't necessarily has to be a beaten for a child. They're sure not going to beat you in the Army, but they will not tolerate and put up with a person's mess.
The key words "reshape" and "mold."
Reshape and mold their thinking according to your way of what's right, or else they'll ride your coat tail and think you're soft.
By doing this, they are learning what behavior is all about.
