Pastor Paul Piraino

Message Notes

Different Perspectives:

Punishment

Discipline

Discipline is the training of a child in mind and character to enable him or her to become a self-controlled, constructive member of society.

Unhealthy Approaches:

Permissiveness

Authoritarian

Proverbs 6:4

Now a word to you parents. Don’t keep on scolding and nagging your children, making them angry and resentful. Rather, bring them up with the loving discipline the Lord himself approves, with suggestions and godly advice.

Proverbs 29:15

“The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother (father)”

Proverbs 19:18

Discipline your son in his early years while there is hope. If you don’t you will ruin his life

Consistency

Kids need to know rules

Respond with confident decisiveness

Parent in the moment should respond

Fit the behavior

Kids respond differently

Distinguish between being a kid and defiance

Reassure after discipline of love and value

Let love be your guide
