As a young mother, I don't know how to raise a family right. An employer sent me a book on how to raise your child but I forgot where I placed it. So, I browsed on Amazon and searched for a Christian book on raising children. I found one which is What the Bible Says About Child Training (2nd Edition) The book is full of tips on how to extract obedience from your children and how to establish control. I think it is not a "strict" guide but a "GODLY" guide for parents because we have to remember that being a parent is a gift given to us by God and that we are responsible for our children.The book suggests spanking but only at the right place,at the right time for the right reason. My baby is a 2 year old little ball of energy and stubbornness and will power. He wants to have things on his conditions and terms. Uh, I got a long way to go but I am praying he will turn out to be a god-fearing and parent-loving child.
