Parenting (Discipline and Behavior Problems)

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).

Many parents struggle with knowing the best way to discipline and train a child. Too often there is yelling, threatening, and lack of follow-through. At times not only our children seem out of control but also our own responses. As a result, we feel guilty and ineffective. We need to do something different and use correct principles to change our behavior.

"Dear Are the Sheep That Have Wandered"
Satan's pervasive snares are increasing, and raising children is becoming harder because of this. Therefore, parents need to do the very best they can and to enlist the help that Church service and activity can provide. If parents misbehave and stray even temporarily, some of their children may be prone to take license from that example
Faust, James E.
"Selflessness Versus Selfishness"
In a devotional address given at Brigham Young University, Elder William R. Bradford spoke on the difference between selfishness and selflessness in parental practices. He states, “Just as selflessness can carry us to our exaltation and eternal lives, so can selfishness lead us to our destruction and eternal damnation.”
Bradford, William R.
