Hello, parents, guidance, and future mothers!
It's high time we, the singles, start preparing for motherhood or parenthood because it's a big responsibility and it's not for single mothers or fathers; this can affect the child at any point in time in the life of that child. So parental roles or responsibilities are very prior in the child's life, especially at the early stage of the child.
The Bible says, train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
There is how you train your child, and that training determines, if the child goes wrong and you correct that child, will the child immediately change when you point him or her to an error he committed and change immediately. It's obvious that parents of this age do not train their children in such a way the child will be corrected and will see it and change. Looking at this present age, parents are pampering their children; even if they go wrong, they don't want to touch or correct their wrong deeds, which is very wrong in this present world. If the parents neglect their roles not to correct children, it, therefore means the world and our society will be corrupted the more.
In my childhood days, if I did something, maybe out of ignorance, my parents would warn me, and they would tell me the reason I shouldn't do that thing. Case 1 was closed with a warning. If I do the same thing again the second, both my parents will flog me or my siblings with a cane. My siblings and I would receive beatings whenever we went wrong when we knew that things were not good. My beating would be plenty because I'm the senior. Omor, those days, beatings with long cane prepared by my father, put under his bed was high and that's what made us the way we are today.
According to the Americans, they don't beat their children when they do something, but the child will keep on insulting the father and mother, which is not the biblical standard of raising Godly children. I heard that, in America, parents don't beat their children; if they do, the children would report them to the police, and they would come and arrest the parents. When I heard this, I was like, wow. I confirmed this by watching how an American child shouted at the mum for sending him an errand. God will have mercy on our generation.
However, as a young lady who is growing into marriage. My husband and I have prepared our minds to discipline our children with words and cane, too, because I will beat the hell out of you and love them back. If you don't start now to discipline your children, when they are of a certain age, you will not be able to correct or discipline them again. So, my discipline would start at a very tender age. Warn them, if necessary beat them, and correct them with love so they can change swiftly.
Thank you for reading through my blog.

Honestly some children needs to be flogged and talked to come back to their senses else talking alone isn't gonna work.
