Children and grandchildren are precious gifts from God. The word has much to say concerning discipline and instruction for these little ones. In Proverbs 29:15 we are told “The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.”(NIV). It is implicit in scripture that parents have been given the responsibility of guiding their offspring. This is clear in Proverbs 1:8 when is says, “Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.” (NIV).
