Real Dads - discipline

Dad

We have been talking about how to discipline. The Bible says in Prov 22:6 that we are to train a child in the way they should go and the promise is that when they are older they will not depart from it. The secret of discipline is loving boundaries. Also in discipline the issue of respect is important. When discipline is applied it must always fit the crime. Let me explain you must know the different between childish behavior of willful defiance.
Childish behavior for example is when a child spills the milk by accident or getting excited damages something by mistake. Willful defiance is when a child stamps their feet. throws a toy on purpose or shouts no to a request you asked them to do.
Childish behavior you can ignore or corrected by lovingly action. Willful defiance must be met by strong loving discipline. Consequences to willful defiance must meet the crime. A little piece of advice when you choose to correct willful defiance you better win. Remember you are the parent and they are the child. You are responsible for them. Do not abdicate your responsibility. You must break their will in this matter. No one likes a spoiled brat. They must know what they have done and why. Whatever form of discipline you do must be strong, effective and complete.
