As soon as a child is old enough to push limits (being told no and reaching in to pull dirt out of a plant) they are old enough to learn consequences for getting in another’s space (yours). We began with slapping little hands – then moved to spanking for obvious acts of rebellion (your Proverbs passages you listed – Proverbs 13:24 and 23:12-14).
Burnadette and I have lots of experience with our own children, our grand-children, and the kids of others. We have been married over 40 years - and are incredibly excited about our future together! We are “big picture” family life teachers and have some availability for strategic get togethers to help couples who are stuck or inexperienced. You can find us at [email protected].
We hold periodic small group discussions and Q & A’s concerning building a strong marriage and a strong family. If you (or you and some friends) are interested - click away!
