To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child. – Proverbs 29:15(NLT)
TO DISCIPLINE OR NOT TO
A poem and essay by ILMA
When a child is disciplined at a young age
He will learn to be wise and brave
It is good for parents to implement discipline
It keeps them righteous and win over sin.
When you don’t discipline a child
You are actually ruining their lives
A child out of control brings dishonor
He will be selfish and out of control.

When I was growing up, they put more emphasis on discipline. Parents were very particular how their children behaved especially in public or when there were guests coming to their homes. It was of utmost importance that they were respectful and have good manners. I think that discipline is become a novelty nowadays in our society. I remember clearly how we are going to get punished when we didn’t follow right conduct. Most youth juvenile delinquent are product of undisciplined children. Because they weren’t corrected early in life, they will do what they please and will not learn to submit to authority.
The bible says that when we discipline our children, they learn to be wise. It is one of the best things we can give our offspring so that they will thrive in life. It is a shame to see undisciplined children and youth who later on becomes problems in society.
