Discipline

Discipline is a subject that is hard to talk about with parents and non-parents alike.  Every child is different and everybody has an opinion on how to raise and discipline your children.  As a mother, I welcome any advice and still value the opinions of my friends and family on how I can be a better mom and raise my kids to be respectful and obedient.  I want to discipline them in love and help them make better choices out of their own free will and not out of force.

I will be honest though.  Sometimes, somebody will show me a different way to handle discipline or offer me some advice and I start to get defensive.  Thoughts will run through my head that I don't like to face. These thoughts sometimes sound like, "Who are you to tell me how to handle my kids?" and, "Are you calling me a bad mom because I don't do that?"
The truth is that most of the time, it is done out of love.  They want to see me succeed and they are offering tools to help me and my children.  With careful instruction here at New Beginnings, we are teaching our resident mothers how to discipline out of love and understanding the way that God instructs us to do.  God is love and so everything He does is out of love.  Should we not mirror His example?

The Bible tells us "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." - Proverbs 13:24  We are also told "Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death." - Proverbs 19:18  God disciplines us out of love.  We are His children.  We should raise our children out of love the way God has loved us.
As a mother of teenagers, I was looking for advice on disciplining my children out of that love that Christ has taught us.  I found a website that is wonderful and has tips on how to discipline from a Christian point of view using our Lord as the center.  You can see it by clicking on the button below.
