Discipline your children;
you'll be glad you did--
They'll turn out delightful to live with.
Proverbs 29:17
Delightful....giving great pleasure...highly pleasing
Can these adjectives describe our children of today? Sure, when my baby is one year old, she is delightful. But, can my fourteen-year-old who is immersed in today's culture be this way?
Providing loving training, instruction, and correction are critical while children are young and in the shaping process. While children are young, they want to please. Children learn what is OK or not Ok in our families, in our society, in our world through intensely, subconciously watching. You, as a parent, are being studied--not only what you say and do, but how you live. Are YOU delightful to live with?
Step One: Let's BE what we want to SEE!
