Topic > Discipline and Children: A Christian Perspective

Discipline or Violence“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not turn away from it. they have been disciplined the wrong way, as much of the discipline they have received has been applied many times with negligence and even physical abuse, with the result that they want to apply what they have received, even though it has been applied the wrong way. This is where the true way of disciplining children begins to take shape, and it is these days that there are many resources available for those who want to use true discipline away from compromising situations for both those who apply it and those who they practice. good for those who receive it. However, what must be used first and foremost today in the application of discipline is wisdom, for that is what it will take to make a big difference between what is violence and what is properly applied discipline, and this it will only lay a foundation and an example for future generations to apply discipline as the Bible says: “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but afterwards it produces the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11 (ESV-Bible, 2001)“First, and above all, children are vulnerable beings. They are orphans, "neighbors" and strangers in need of compassion and justice; and therefore they need parents and other adults to protect them… (Bunge, 2008, p. 352)” This is precisely what parents today must always keep in mind, and this cannot in any way be ignored because to do so would create situations in which the latter......middle of paper......t that cause are an example to those who find themselves facing discipline problems with their children. Today's world does not need perfect people, but people who have had a real and personal encounter with the God of Glory. In no way should parents allow the enemies of souls to take advantage of how they should discipline their children, as is currently taught through rebellion, and especially when parents find the courage to teach the principles that are written in the word of God. The environment that pleases God will be created when parents truly love God and their children: «The devil takes possession of children (and even adults) who no one teaches in the way of the Lord, and throws them here and there there under his influence, like a toy on the waves, until the final destination where they end up together with him in hell, far from the presence of God”.
