In Bible times, the Hebrew word for “rod” meant a stick or a staff, such as the one a shepherd used to guide his sheep. (Psalm 23:4) Similarly, “the rod” of parental authority suggests loving guidance, not harsh or brutal punishment.
The Bible associates such discipline, or instruction, with love. (Proverbs 13:24) Therefore, “the rod of discipline” should never be abusive—emotionally or physically.

A whacking stick. Physical chastisement has only become non-PC in the past 20 years. In the Book of Baruch (in the Septuagint but not in Protestant Bibles) is the proverb "A father who lives his son will beat him every day."

By words or by action. In other words, in the right context, a parent should be able to smack a child's bottom.
In fact, we see what a lack of discipline achieves and sure that many parents feel that their child could do with a slap on their bottom occasionally, but due to the misconception, dare not, otherwise, will be charged with child abuse.
It is very clear the difference between abuse and discipline. If you smack a child around the head, back or face, that would DEFINITELY be abuse. But to slap on the bottom or arm, with the RIGHT motive ie to stop a child misbehaving, then that is called discipline.
Allowing a child to get away with everything, is both dangerous and not wise.

Proverbs 13:24 says: “The one holding back his rod is hating his son, but the one loving him is he that does look for him with discipline.” In this context, the rod of discipline represents a means of correction, whatever form it may take. By administering loving discipline, a parent seeks to correct faults that if they were to become deeply rooted, would cause the child much misery in adult life. Truly, withholding such discipline amounts to hate; administering it is an act of love.
A loving parent also helps the child to understand the reasons behind the rules. Discipline thus involves not only the giving of commands and the meting out of punishment but, more important, the imparting of understanding. The Bible notes: “An understanding son is observing the law.”—Proverbs 28:7.

It means an erection. Back in the day, fathers often punished their naughty daughters with their rods and did they ever get punished! But they didn't usually punish their sons as often. Either way, they were usually punished in their beds.

It is a wooden implement that the god of the Bible wants us to use for beating our disobedient children as well as our slaves to death.
It's the loving thing to do.
