Raising Obedient Children


I found this post at the Resurgence blog (and Zach Nielson's). Click here to read the entire post and explanation of each point (well worth it...if you are a parent. PJ and Ashleigh Smith have some great advice. What do you think?


Here are a few ways that we are trying to raise obedient children:


1. We are confident in our God-given parental authority.

2. We never count to three.

3. We model it ourselves to authority figures in our lives.


4. We use appropriate forms of punishment.

5. We try not to exasperate our children (Eph. 6:4).

6. We are convinced that it really is worth the effort.
