Sometimes your children disappoint you with disobedience. It is inevitable; everyone makes mistakes, and an important part of growing up is learning what is right and wrong. How you handle these situations will impact your relationship with your children and your ability to influence them in positive ways. You should correct your children through love, and make sure they do not mistake discipline for rejection. After you have disciplined your children, make it clear to them that you love them very much, and that you do not love them any less. Explain that you only want the best for them, which is why you corrected their behavior. Even though it’s hard, disciplining your children is best for both the child and the parent in the long run.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right… And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:1, 4

If his children forsake my law, And walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Psalm 89:30-34

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 22:15
