If you imitate Jehovah's loving, reasonable, and consistent discipline, you can be certain that your efforts will benefit your children. Your loving direction may help your children to develop into mature, responsible, and balanced adults. As the Bible says: "Train a boy in the way he should go, even when he grows old he will not depart from it." - PROVERBS 22:6.
Bible-Based Discipline is . . .
1. Loving: Effective discipline is founded on love, not anger. When faced with a particularly difficult situation, postpone discipline until you are calm.
2. Reasonable: Endeavor to take into account all the circumstances, including the child's limitation and abilities.
3. Consistent: If you have warned your child that a certain form of discipline will result if he misbehaves, be sure to follow through.
