    Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child

    Scripture shows us the way to have consistently happy and cheerfully obedient children. I believe the way mainly involves 3 things: #1 Clear Instructions, #2 Swift & Appropriate Discipline, and #3 Consistency, Consistency, Consistency. The set-up is pretty simple: Give your children crystal clear instructions and expectations. If they do not cheerfully obey, right away Read more
