Submission

Quote I read in a sample from the book "Gospel-Centered Family" available from The Good Book Company:

"Don’t tell children off for being children. Children break things and drop things. They get giddy and raise their voices. But ensure they obey you. Teach them to submit to your authority. Discipline disobedience. Don’t let your child rule the home. If you do, you’ll be teaching them that they are king in their lives. They’re not. It won’t prepare them for wider social interaction. And it won’t prepare them to meet the true King."

Good point. I may just have to get this book.
