“I can’t cane my kids because my parents did not cane me when I did something wrong”- Diana Hamilton

Even though the Bible urges parents to physically punish their children if they misbehave, local gospel music veteran Diana Hamilton announced that she would never lift a cane on either of her children if they misbehave.

During an interview with Kastle FM’s Amansan Krakye, the singer disclosed that her parents never caned her as a child, so she lacks the ability to whip her children if they misbehave.

She said,

It’s so funny that my mum and dad never lashed me when I was growing up. So for me caning isn’t the first thing when it comes to how I would like to discipline my kids,” she explained.

There are other ways we can use to discipline children when it comes to ensuring their proper upbringing. By God’s grace we’ll continue to pray for our kids because I always say that my mother prayed us into life,

My mum never used a cane on me but due to her prayers for us and once in a while using the cane to hit the table but never touched us with the cane,” she disclosed.

We were very careful not to offend our mother and that’s what we plead with God to help us to be able to lead our children but there are other ways that can be used to discipline a child without necessarily using a cane or hitting them with your hand
