Fathers in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Just as children are expected to respect their fathers, fathers are instructed not to frustrate their children, but to raise them in a godly and gentle way.

We are having the worst trouble with our youngest daughter, 3 going on 4 very soon. She’s convinced that she rules the world, and that we are all her subjects. She’s EXTREMELY stubborn, and doesn’t seem to care that she affects everyone in our family when she’s on one of her rants. She does the broken record thing, and it’s driving my hsband bananas. He doesn’t know what to do with her, and it’s hurting her relationships with her brother, sister, and Daddy. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I pray for her every minute, it seems. She’s a sweet, hilarious, cuddly bug of a tiny girl, but she just won’t listen, and doesn’t know when to quit. HELP!
I have a 3 and a half year grandson, my first, who lives with us. I have to admit, we are responsible for his current behavior which mirrors your daughters. Nevertheless, I have to keep in mind that we are still the adults and still responsible for correcting this behavior. My grandson hates being alienated. Putting him in his room, away from human interactions, works because he loves to talk! Spanking (spare the rod, spoil the child) on occasion also helps, as long as you use it sparingly. I pray that you get a lot more comments from younger parents because this is new again for me. My son just turned 29 and I don’t remember having such a hard time. God bless you!
It is so important to learn to properly discipline children, the punishment must fit the crime and we must as fathers discipline in love, we must also lift our children up when the do well we must recognize the fact that they acknowledged the correction and we must show them we are so incredibly proud of them, to our kids we speak absolute truth, as far as they are concerned there is no guile in us, so what we speak over them is what they believe about themselves, to all the fathers in the world remember to whom much is given much is required, your children are a gift from our Father!
