Correct Me As I Deserve

"Correct me in your as I deserve, but not in your anger, or I will be dead."

Spare the rod and spoil the child.   Oftentimes, we parents are in a dilemma when we should discipline our child.  We are afraid that they might become angry or mad at us for a long time.  But that will not be so, with proper kind of explanation as to why we should give our child a "spank", that is, because he or she did something wrong, it will be understood.  And that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."

And God properly instructed us to "train a child in the way he should go so that when he is old he will not depart from it.  Whatever we taught our child since he or she is just a little kid, he or she will become that kind of person.

A proper way to discipline our child is not in our anger, but rather in love.  The way we converse with him or her, telling him or her why we should discipline him.  Explaining in proper way.  Of course, our children is not in the position to question things we are doing to make them the kind of person we want to be, but I believe they also deserve to understand why.  Doing that, we will also gain our child's respect that we also deserve.  Just be firm with whatever rules that we have agreed in our home.

If we truly love our children, we will also discipline them in a proper way.  In love, and not in anger.
