Admin	Disciplining Children. Posted : 16 Jul, 2012 05:12 AM The bible in Proverbs 29:17 says; Discipline your son, and he will give you peace, he will bring delight to your soul. Discipline is a responsibility of a parent, right? Is it right to use physical ways of discipline for example giving a child a few canes on the bottom? I am asking this because many parents would never do that to their children, they think it is a wrong way to discipline a child. thoughts? May be I am posting this on a wrong place but ladies too are welcome:) Post Reply

View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 16 Jul, 2012 01:58 PM Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. it seems strange how societies have twisted these verses to condone child abuse..... if You ask a shepherd what is His rod? and what is it for? He will produce a stick about 1/4 inch thick and about 10 to 12 inches long, He will then explain that it is used for close up and very thorough inspection. Post Reply

teach_ib View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 16 Jul, 2012 08:36 PM Beginning at a very early age...even under one...to set the rules and guidelines. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Even babies understand... While I have no children of my own, I have helped raise my 12 and 6 year old nephews from birth...the older one, he was with me 90% of the time until he was almost 5. You have to determine how each child responds to the discipline...each responds differently and using the wrong type of punishment will only cause frustration. Some kids need detailed rules and explanations while others need to know the general rules and help establish the details...how to achieve them Recommended reading is the DISC personality...it works in the office, too.

Apostelle View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 16 Jul, 2012 09:10 PM Losing the use of toys, tv, being put in time-out, etc. never worked on me as child because I had no interest in those things in the first place and being in time-out only gave me time to think of new, mean things to do. Being scolded didnt work either. Also, as a result that there were numerous soldiers in my family, I learned some "colorful" language as a child...and used it frequently. Only once did my mother use a non family member as a babysitter. During that experiment, I used the Lord's name in vain and suggested that the babysitter's mother was a female dog. Without saying exactly what I said, I screamed, "I want my mama! Call my mama or I will turn over your (expletive) fishbowl, you son of a..." I was 4 years old at the time. The only thing that ever worked on me was spanking. I definately believe in spanking because I know, should I have children, they will as "stiff necked" as I was as a child. Post Reply

View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 18 Jul, 2012 05:29 AM Spanking a child is perfectly acceptable.They must understand that bad decisions produce pain.It is not suggested to use the hand thoughh.The hands should only be for loving them.I used to swat them with a leather belt.They'de get one swat and 2 swats if they were hitting anyone,namelly eachother.The sound of the leather hitting on itself made alot of noise and exagerated the swat.It should be conducted when you are calm and after explaining why.Never hit them in anger,it makes them afraid of adults.

View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 18 Jul, 2012 04:22 PM We are not called to follow what is popular or socially acceptable. We are called to follow God........... Dicipline is not punishment. Dicipline is love and consequences going hand in hand. The dicipline of my daughter who is now a respectable and confident young woman. A young woman who I respect very much. My previous wife and I never were on the same page because she was guided by popular belief and her emotions. I very rarely used the rod or in my case a ping pong paddle to heat her botton up. The times I did was in complete controll of my emotions and never out of anger. More abuse happens because parents are out of controll, no wounder their children are also. This form of dicipline is only when clear boundries are laid out and the child completly understands and by their will defiles you as their parent. Other than that as parents we need to make the dicipline match the violation. Lets talk about just being a child and a childs accident. If we know our chilredn we will know if it is accident but we should always give our child the bennifet of the doubt if we are not sure. We need to speak positive encouraging words into our children. Good dicipline requires time and thinking about our children. It requires time to listen and ask questions. Most of all it requires grace and love matched with patience and understanding. How else will they learn if we do not set the example. How will they lean God is not a big meany :p Post Reply
