Proverbs 29:17

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest (from all the anxieties which ungodly children cause their parents); yea, he shall give (not only rest, but also) delight unto thy soul - which will richly compensate for the slight and passing pain which thou hast had when correcting him.
