The Bible not only teaches us about the good and bad things in life, but it also provides us with parenting guidelines. From there, it is always successful and appropriate for all cultures. So, what does the Bible say about how to raise children? Please come learn more about this issue with me.

"Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath," God's Word instructs, "but raise them up with discipline and guidance to the Lord's children" (Ephesians 6:4). Parents must follow God's example in the how-to guide and teach their children, according to this doctrine, but how does God chastise and scold God's people? "My son, do not submit to the Lord's discipline, and do not be dismayed when the Lord rebukes you; because the Lord disciplines those whom he loves, and everyone he adopts as his son scourges," the Bible says. God treats you like children, Visbangwf, because what is a son whose parent does not discipline?" (See Hebrews 12:5-7). Because he loves us, God must punish us when we ignore God's word, do bad things, and endanger ourselves. As a result, the Bible's main premise for parenting children is this: Parents must correct their children when they make mistakes in order to help them in becoming human beings; we should use discipline in moderation and out of love, not out of love be enraged or despise the child.
Discipline your children consistently, that is, apply a concept, a standard, in the same way, every time, without making abrupt, erratic adjustments every now and then. When their children make mistakes, many parents discipline their children based on their feelings or emotions. Although children make the same faults, the parent's discipline varies from time to time. Children will not be reprimanded or spanked as much if their parents are happy and emotionally at ease. If, on the other hand, a child makes the same error while his or her parents are angry, weary, or emotionally worried, the youngster will be harshly punished. Such punishment will create inconsistencies in children's thinking, leaving them unsure of what constitutes a significant mistake and what constitutes a minor error. Some parents are aware that they should discipline their children regularly, but when they are mentally worried or furious and their children make a mistake, even a minor one, they lose control and make decisions with the intent of punishing mistakes, no matter how minor. Is it also administering discipline when parents let their children do detrimental things in front of their guests or in front of their children's friends, but the parents leave it alone because they are terrified of being labeled as strict? As a result, the youngsters rely on their parents' weaknesses to have fun. As a result, parents must be constant in their training of their children so that they understand the gravity of their errors.
Children are a God-given reward, according to the Bible (Psalm 127:3). Surely, then, it is proper to follow Solomon's good advice in properly instructing children. Moses expressed the importance that God put on teaching his children the truth. "Teach this to your children with compassion and talking about, or when you sit in your house, or when you walk down the street, or when you lie down, or when you get up," he said to God's people. Tie it on your hand as a token of favor, and it will serve as a seal between your eyes; likewise, write them on your house's pillars and doors" (Deuteronomy 6:7-9). Moses' prudence reflects his genuine concern that future generations must continue to follow God's commandments in order to "live in peace in the land" (Leviticus 1:16, 25:18), that everything would turn out "good" for them (Deuteronomy 12:28), and that He would bless them in the country (Deuteronomy 30:16). Teaching children to know and obey God is the foundation for pleasing Him and living victoriously in His favor, according to the Bible. The child's understanding of sin and the need for a Savior is the first step toward knowing God and His truth. Even infants understand that they are not flawless and that they require forgiveness. Parents who love their children will set an example for their children to see a loving God who not only forgives but also provides the perfect sin offering in Christ Jesus.
 
Thanks, great instruction.

As a grandparent, I hope to learn from the mistakes I made as a parent, and to do a better job with my grandchildren.

You documentation is on the money. I believe using a belt on children causes psychological damage, and aggression. This nation is decaying rapidly, morally and spiritually. Hosea 5:5. And the pride of Israel does testify to his face; therefore shall Israel and ephraim fall in their iniquity; judah also shall fall with them. AVAH in Hebrew means = iniquity. What's happening right now in our nation? Are kids running wild on the streets. A six year old just shot his school teacher recently. How did he get hold of gun??. Theirs drug epidemic in our nation. 5:6. They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall not find Him; He hath with drawn Himself from them. Many people have turned their backs on God and won't repent for sins to God. When a nation starts going on decline, moral degeneration, it will bring God's judgment. Unless theirs a national repentance, and they amend their ways. 6:7. They have dealt TREACHEROUSLY against the Lord; for they have begotten strange children: This refers to heathen parents and apostates. Who are apostates?? Their heretics who turned their backs on Gods truth. They teach tradition of men and false doctrine . ZUR in Hebrew means = Strange, apostate. Do we see what the problems are??. The most dangerous teaching now is the rapture theory. God hates the fly away doctrine. Its setting people up to worship antichrist near future. False preachers and parents are to blame for the moral degeneration that's bringing God's judgment. Their will be accountability. Jesus is coming 7th trump, and some people will get rewards and others punishment.
