The need for genuine discipline doesn't usually arise until about midway through the child's second year. At this time, boys and girls become capable of understanding what you're telling them to do, and as a result they can very gently be held responsible for their behavior. A firm "no!" or a MILD slap on the hand can be effective in certain situations.
On other occasions it may be far more helpful to mandate a brief "time out" (two or three minutes at the most) or take away a favorite toy for a short period of time. Through the next 18 months, you will gradually establish yourself as the benevolent boss if you can consistently mean what you say and say what you mean. A firm but loving approach is generally the best policy in every phase of the child-rearing process.
There is some great verses on child rearing in the Book of Proverbs.
I think parents are afraid of lawsuits if they correct a child. The Bible actually says: if you never correct your child: you hate him.
One of the worst things for a kid is to use a TV to keep the child distracted or entertained.
Youtube teaches things you do not want them to learn! If you want them to grow up and follow Jesus someday; don't expose them to worldly and selfish tv content. Video games teach nothing useful.
I started reading short Psalms to my grandson at naptime and bedtime. He's 7 and became a Christian a year ago.
If YOU don't teach it: they will not learn it.
Go see how many parents are in the prayer request room asking prayer for adult drug addict children? Heartbreaking.
I know you're right about this. My grandson goes to a Christian school. I don't know if he has a real concept of sin. His parents have never spanked him. He's a good boy though.
With my son, I always told him why he was going to be corrected. "Whom the Lord loves, He chastens." I admitted I get chastened too. He's accomplished great things in his life. But one time he told me, that he wasn't sure how to talk to God. I told him it's like you and I are talking now. A conversation: you talk, then listen.
Then terrible tragedies happened to 2 friends; I'm almost sure he blames God for that loss. He's had much loss happen to him. Like Job.
We just have to do the best we can to the Glory of God. I always tell friends, ask for Gods help if your best is not enough. :)
Have a nice afternoon in the Joy of our Lord and Savior.
Good morning. I have been blessed to hear over the years hundreds of children give their testimonies where they went from wanting to be a Christian to understanding that they were not saved and crying out to Jesus to be saved because they recognize sin in their life. Somewhere in between is a call to accountability. One account told by a minister today, was he and his brother (he was the oldest being 11-12) and sisters were upstairs in a house all having fun jumping on the bed. From below the mother let them know that she wanted them to stop. Instead the fun continued, another warning ot two by the mother and she began to come up the stairs. The future minister quickly jumped off the bed and sat in a nearby chair as the mother entered the room. All the children except the future minister were punished.
Time went by until the Lord called this boy to account for this lie. He repented and found peace. Confessions were made to his parents and brothers and sisters and as a minister to folks like me.
One concern that I do carry is trying to turn Children into believing Christians before God calls them. It is confusing to them and for them to be able to tell their testimony clearly later. The parents need to teach these children the truth by example and have them prepared to answer this call to accountability for sin when God judges the right time.
Most calls to accountability for sin that I have witnessed have been between 12 and 16 years old. Some between 9 & 12 and few before. There is a difference between a child being fearful because they understand there is a hell and understanding that they are resisting God's call for sin in their own life.
