Boys sometimes get hurt. That’s a fact. But when your son cuts a finger or scrapes a knee, what do you do?
If the cut looks dirty, dabbing iodine on it will keep infection away. Even though the antiseptic stings, you know it’s for your son’s own good. You want him to heal.
The same is true in parenting. At one point or another, you’ll have to correct your son when he lies, cusses, or misbehaves. Punishment is never a fun thing—for the child or for the parent—but it’s necessary for healing and growth.
Proverbs 22:6 provides valuable advice. The verse says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
