“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him. Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
Don’t be afraid to discipline your children while they’re still young enough to learn. Don’t indulge your children or be swayed by their protests.
Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.
Don’t withhold appropriate discipline from your child. Go ahead and punish him when he needs it. Don’t worry—it won’t kill him! A good spanking could be the very thing that teaches him a lifelong lesson!”
{Psalms 127:3; Proverbs 22:6; Proverbs 19:18; Proverbs 20:11; Proverbs 23:13-14}
