The Impact of a Godly Parent: click here to view http://www.intouch.org/
My son and I had the great pleasure of listening to Dr. Stanley's televised sermon regarding the tremendous impact Dr. Stanley's mother had on his life, because his mother was a Godly Parent. Dr. Stanley indicated that Parents today, fail to discipline children in an effort to maintain a sense of friendship between parent and child.
Discipline was noted by Dr. Stanley as a mechanism for building character. What's your view, do you think discipline fosters character, or do you believe discipline diminishes the bond between parent and child?
Something to truly ponder . . . how do you foster character in your child/children? BWrightParents
I agree with Dr. Stanley because I come from the old school where parents discipline their children because they loved them and wanted them to become more than what they were. It was like a steering tool used to steer you in the right direction. This is what God does with us as HIS children. HE steers us to a better way but it is left up to us to follow where HE steers. God entrusted you as parents to your children, so it is our responsibility to show them and demonstrate the right way and the right path.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with the first parent's comment above. here is a quote for thought “‘Discipline’ comes from the word ‘disciple,’” Jane says. “It’s about directing them in the way they should go. Children need the adults in their lives to be parents, not friends.”
