Receiving a little child is like receiving JesusJesus taught that welcoming a small child in His name is equivalent to receiving Jesus Himself, so we must value children with that same attitude.Matthew 18:5
The responsibility of parents to bring up childrenGod gives children to parents to raise them properly, yet many Christians care more about money than correcting their children's bad habits.
Being strict and merciful with the corrupt fleshBecause children inherit a corrupt flesh from Adam that leads to bad habits, parents must be strict while also remaining merciful.
God disciplines those He lovesJust as our heavenly Father disciplines us out of love to correct our ways, parents must correct their children.Revelation 3:19
The promise of training up a childThe years from one to thirteen are for training and correction, with God's promise that a properly trained child will not depart from it.Proverbs 22:6
Being patient and showing physical affectionParents must continually show love by hugging and touching their children, which helps prevent them from going into bad ways.
Driving away foolishness with the rod of disciplineBecause foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, the rod of discipline is sometimes necessary as a last resort.Proverbs 22:15
Different ways of disciplining childrenParents should first try speaking strongly and restricting activities, using a stick or belt only for serious matters and very rarely.
Handling older children and a personal storyWhen children reach around seventeen or eighteen, they make foolish mistakes, and parents must respond with patience and love.
Winning a child's heart with prayer and loveInstead of using a stick on an older teenage son who tried to deceive him, a father prayed for himself, hugged his son, and won his heart.
The father of the prodigal son as our pictureLike the father of the prodigal son who hugged him instead of holding a stick, we should help older children through love.
