Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The phrase “spare the rod, spoil the child” is a modern-day proverb that means if a parent refuses to discipline an unruly child, that child will grow accustomed to getting his own way. He will become, in the common vernacular, a spoiled brat.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is absolutely wrong, and psychologically too, to use a rod for erring children. Physical punishment is no remedy to reform the children. On the contrary it kills their delicate feelings. They become used to physical punishment and grow to be hard-skinned.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phrase, “spare the rod and spoil the child” is not a Christian phrase and is not in the Bible. That phrase actually comes from a narrative poem written in the 1600s titled “Hudibras” by Samuel Butler.
