Every parent has a time when they are unsure of how to discipline their child. *”Bad children do not exist; only bad behavior does.*”

Because they are stressed and see no other option, parents scream and hit their children.

Discipline must not include yelling and beating.

Discipline is the process of instructing, teaching, leading, and guiding people, as well as correcting and rebuking them with careful instructions and great patience. 2 Timothy 4:2.

It comes from the term disciple. This term refers to a student or someone who studies.

The term “discipline” comes from the Latin word “disciplina,” which means “to instruct and train.”

Can you see it now?
Discipline is not to beat, bully, threaten, or inflict pain, but to train, teach, or instruct.



It takes time and patience to get there. It’s a tool for parents. It’s about teaching your child which behaviors are acceptable and which are not.

It’s a chance to connect with your child and guide them toward actions that will benefit them both now and in the future.

It is a process of grooming, nourishing, discipling, and mentoring.

It’s a method of conditioning or programming your child to do the correct thing at the appropriate moment, even while you’re not around.

It is responding to children’s behavior rather than reacting to it, offering them a viable alternative. Teaching them what to do instead of what they’ve done in the past.

It’s a method of empowering children to make their own decisions. Giving them the ability to make better choices in the future.

Whatever form of discipline you choose, you should teach or train your children the appropriate way to respond in a situation.

Until your child has learned, he is not disciplined.

So how do you chasten a stubborn child who keeps doing the same thing no matter what you do. See what the Bible says below.
Not only that, adults who say they were stubborn as children credit corporal punishment as part of what straightened them out, not reasoning with them!
