"Disciplining the tender children is a thing of the past. Man has matured a lot, and today he has better methods than brutality to care for these flowers blossoming in his home". This is a very popular slogan today, and many Christian parents fall for it. But this is a wrong way of looking at discipline which is based upon a wrong conception of discipline, and also of children.

Since God is vitally interested in every individual, we expect that in his sacred Word He will surely give us guiding principles to govern or direct personal lives. Since every individual starts his life as a child dependent on parents, guiding principles on rearing children are also to be expected. there is no doubt that such scriptural principles will be the best possible ones, and also that replacing any of them with any other principles will only result in damage to the children and parents.

Children come to this world with minds blank like writing paper, and whoever prints his message there first usually dominates their thoughts and actions for the rest of their life. The values and attitudes which they develop early in life are difficult to change latter whether for good or for bad.

Many changes come to a family when a child is born. New parents are usually unprepared for the differences in their lives, even with the best advanced warning. Even experienced parents experience shock when a new addition to the family arrives. With each child, I found myself remarking, "I had forgotten how trying a little one can be." Fortunately, there is more than enough joy and excitement with a newborn to make up for the difficult times. You see, with a newborn, it is the parents who have lessons to learn that will prepare them for raising children in the coming years.
