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). The Israelites were instructed to watch themselves closely, “so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live.

If we neglect to do this we are told in Proverbs 13:24 that we actually hate our children.
