Shi’i pedagogy structures childhood in three seven-year stages without corporal correction

Evidence

The Imami seven-seven-seven developmental framework constitutes the Shi’i pedagogical-developmental synthesis. The Jaʿfari position does not prescribe corporal correction across the seven-seven-seven sequence — the operational mechanisms are play, writing-instruction, and religious-legal instruction. The Imami operationally gentler character relative to the Hanbali position is notable. — , The Rod and the Child, 3543
