Proverbs 13:24

The Message

A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them.

See the chapter Copy

Discipline your children while you still have the chance; indulging them destroys them.

Young people are prone to foolishness and fads; the cure comes through tough-minded discipline.

Wise discipline imparts wisdom; spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.

Discipline your children; you’ll be glad you did— they’ll turn out delightful to live with.
