As a Christian Mom and a child development specialist, I also benefitted from wise, loving, principled discipline from my parents. I marvel at them and their wisdom as teen parents from a very rural, southern community-who went on to earn their own advanced college degrees and raise 6 children all of whom except one went on to become strong Christians, get their education, have loving,marital relationships that have stood the test of time, and successful careers. We enjoyed the blessing of favor by following the not only the love that Christ preached but the discipline outlined by our Heavenly Father. I was never confused about my role as a parent--never once thought I needed to be my child's friend, for I clearly understood that your friends and peers were an important element in your life and that my role as your Mom would be compromised if I ever got confused about parenting and friendship with you. As adults we now have so many bonds as Mother-daughter, Christians, and yes, friends. I love you Lisa--what a blessing you have been to your Dad and I and so many others. May God continue to bless you in all that you do.Mary Ann Walkerhttp://msn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203612552075975760.post-31240437400372247022011-02-02T07:47:29.598-08:002011-02-02T07:47:29.598-08:00Anonymous -
You are absoulutely correct! Thank you...Anonymous -<br />You are absoulutely correct! Thank you for your addition. My son is not provoked to wrath. He is a typical teen ager that does not like to do his chores and attempts role reversal.<br /><br />However, there are some parents who are afraid to tell their child right from wrong and give the instruction necessary for living and flying into their destiny. As a child development specialist, it amazes me to hear parents refuse to tell their child, "No," explaining in love why some decisions are not wise and the purpose of the rules.<br /><br />I appeal for discipline in love without fear of losing the love of your child. This is a healthy balance. Thank you for your comment and I hope you visit again.<br />God Bless You,<br />LisaServing Christ, by Serving Othershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777371617712526677noreply@blogger.com
