Whether parents like it or not, disciplining their child is part of their job. It is not easy for most to do it because of the fear that their child might hate them growing up. For those who are struggling in this department, one man in history might help and he goes by the name of King Solomon.
There have been many observations and studies saying the behavior of kids these days have become quite more difficult to manage due to a lot of factors affecting their attitude like the Internet, their friends at school and the way they are treated inside the house.
In an article written by a wife and a mother, Tara Layne for Goshen News, she encouraged parents to read the book of Proverbs from the Bible. It has lots of wisdom written by the late King Solomon that could come in handy for parenting, especially in disciplining children.
One of the passages of the book says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." That can be found in Proverbs 22:6 and it clearly suggests that a responsible adult is a product of good parenting. The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom coming from the mind of King Solomon who was known not just for his brilliant wit but also for his wealth. He was one of the wealthiest kings who ever ruled Israel.
All his success points out to one word and that is discipline. In an article published by Dr. Ray Guarendi, a family psychologist, he said that this subject has gone a little sensitive for some parents to the point that they no longer apply it to their children, which is not healthy for them. He recommends disciplining a child in a straightforward and commonsense manner. Giving them limits and consequences to their behavior is one way to inject discipline.
