The Bible said it thousands of years ago, Proverbs 13:24 “Whoever does not discipline his son hates him, but whoever loves him is diligent to correct him.”
Since you have an issue with it, why don’t you do a word study on scriptural discipline? You think it means violence. Correction is the goal done because of love.
I hate to break it to all the formerly abused children on here who grew up fearing their fathers, but some of us didn't grow up fearing our fathers and got all the discipline and correction we ever needed. I couldn't give two shits what your interpretation of Solomon's proverbs are. The abused are gonna abuse and justify their abuse until finally...they don't. Good luck hitting your kids. Go ahead and lie to yourself about how much they loved you on your deathbed.

While it's in the Bible, the Bible does not "say" things. For disambiguation, we should note that Proverbs is Old Testament. Jesus did not say this.
Translations matter. KJV uses the worth "chasten," not "discipline."
Discipline and hitting children are not the same thing.
LOL did the Bible also define "discipline" as making them fear you through the threat of violence? Where is that Bible dictionary, by the way?

Don't confuse discipline with abuse. They are radically different.
