A change in behavior that does not stem from a change in heart is not commendable; it is condemnable. Is it not the same hypocrisy that Jesus condemned in the Pharisees?
If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.
When we focus on our children's outside behavior and neglect what is on the inside, we will cause our children to become manipulators.Don't Make Me count to Three, 34
Act lovingly to your children. In all your counsels and commands let them read love. Love will command honour; and how can a parent but love the child who is his living picture, nay, part of himself. The child is the father in the second edition.The Ten Commandments, 135
When your children are grown up, put them to some lawful calling, wherein they may serve their generation. It is good to consult the natural genius and inclination of a child, for forced callings do as ill, sometimes, as forced matches.The Ten Commandments, 135
God often punishes the carelessness of parents with undutifulness in their children.The Ten Commandments, 135
Timothy's mother instructed him from a child. 2 Tim iii 15. She not only gave him her breast-milk, but 'the sincere milk of the word.'The Ten Commandments, 134
You conveyed the plague of sin to them, therefore endeavour to get them healed and sanctified.The Ten Commandments, 134
Parents who spoil their children out of 'love' should realize that they are performing acts of child abuse. Although there are no laws against such abuse--no man-made laws anyway--this spiritual mistreatment may result in as much long-term personal and social damage as the worst physical abuse.
Don't forget that the most effective form of child abuse is giving a child everything they want.
