كثيرٌ من الناس تحمله الغيرة على أن يبدأ بالتأديب قبل التعليم !
فإذا وجد ابنه مثلاً ترك الصلاة مع الجماعة،أو ترك ما لا ينبغي
تركه ضربه فوراً !وهذا خلاف الحكمة،بل علم قبل أن تؤدب، فإذا علمت فقد أقمت الحجة
ثم بعد ذلك أدب.#شرح_بلوغ_المرام (2 / 218)

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
Many people are overcome with protective jealousy (الغَيْرَة) to start with disciplining before teaching!
So, if he finds his son has abandoned the congregational prayer for example, or abandoned what was not befitting [for him] to have abandoned, he promptly smacks him!
And this is contrary to wisdom. Rather, teach before you discipline.
So if you taught [your child], then [by doing so] you have established the proof [upon him], [and] then after that you [should] discipline.
