Prov 6:23 For these commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you. The correction of discipline is the way to life.
Prov 13:24 If you refuse to discipline your children, it proves you don't love them; if you love your children, you will be prompt to discipline them.
Prov 19:18 Discipline your children while there is hope. If you don't, you will ruin their lives.
Prov 22:15 A youngster's heart is filled with foolishness, but discipline will drive it away.
Prov 29:15 To discipline and reprimand a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.
