Shepherding a Child's Heart (part 3) | Ep. 107 soundbite 6

"Again, one of the misguided conceptions of parenting is that disciplining should be a time when mom and dad manipulate their children through outbursts of anger and displays that cause the child to fear Because you can, and you can easily do that with children. You can make children very afraid very quickly, easily as a parent, and that's not something you want to do. We're not. Parenting is not trying to establish a fear of man in children, because that is only going to produce performance again. It's not about performance. And if a parent does do that in a misguided way, what that teaches the child is to learn to fear man and not God, which is actually opposite of everything that shepherding a child's heart is about. We're trying to teach them how to fear God, and let fearing God be what motivates them intrinsically to do what that thing. That is right. "
