This proverb refers to the belief that physical punishment is necessary to ensure proper behavior from children. The concept is that if parents don’t lay down a strict set of rules, and discipline their children when necessary, then the children will act out and become more wayward. Thus, in order to prevent such behavior, it's suggested that a rod (or some other form of physical punishment) must be used to "spare" the child from making mistakes.
