The introduction discusses the responsibilities of parents, Scripture as our authority in discipline, and Scripture’s example of teaching through stories, object lessons, songs, and memorials. Explains examples of discipline situations, and how to use the topical information when disciplining your children.

We as parents want our children to understand that “right” and “wrong” are absolutes, based on God’s standards, not ours. If we train our children to submit to the authority of God’s standards, those standards will not change when the children grow up and leave the authority of our homes.

We don’t want to discipline in anger; we want to show grief over the child’s sin, and we want to lead him to true repentance.

When we discipline, we want to picture for our children our heavenly Father’s holiness and His mercy. That is why we look to the Bible and apply the guidelines God has laid out for us.

This book is a wealth of material for parents’ personal Bible study, family worship, character training, unit studies, and Bible study projects for older children.
