Seeking To Raise Obedient Children

PJ and Ashleigh Smyth write about ways in which they try to raise obedient children:
1. We are confident in our God-given parental authority.

2. We never count to three.

3. We model it ourselves to authority figures in our lives.

4. We try not to exasperate our children (Eph. 6:4).

5. We use appropriate forms of punishment.

6. We are convinced that it really is worth the effort.

Sounds a lot like Growing Kids God's Way. It's great practical advice on godly parenting from a solidly Biblical point of view.
