Searcher: If you’re going to sabotage by attempting to misrepresent
FACTS, I suggest you revise and consent your belligerence. TEACHING PROPER
VALUES. When will you people learn. Get a life dude.
On Teaching Proper Values:
In a 1969 New York Times Magazine article, Dr. Bruno
Bettelheim stressed that a child has the "right to form his own inner
opinions, influenced not by [his parents'] authoritative [preaching], but only
by his own direct experience with life." Almost 30 years later, though,
Dr. Robert Coles, author of The Moral Intelligence of Children (1997), acknowledged:
"Children very much need a sense of purpose and direction in life, a set
of values" approved by their parents and other adults.
Proverbs 22:6 urges parents: "Train up a boy according
to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from
it." The Hebrew word translated "train" also means
"initiate" and here indicates the initiating of the first instruction
of the infant. Parents are thus encouraged to start teaching their children
proper values from infancy on. (2 Timothy 3:14, 15) What they learn during
these formative years is likely to remain with them.
On Discipline:
Dr. James
Dobson wrote in The Strong-Willed Child (1978): "Corporal punishment in
the hands of a loving parent is a teaching tool by which harmful behavior is
inhibited." On the other hand, in an article adapted from the seventh
edition of the popular book Baby and Child Care (1998), Dr. Benjamin Spock
said: "Spanking teaches children that the larger, stronger person has the
power to get his way, whether or not he is in the right." OUTSIDE
SOURCE, NOT THE WTS
With regard to discipline, the Bible states: "The rod
and reproof are what give wisdom." (Proverbs 29:15) However, not all children need
physical punishment. Proverbs 17:10 tells us: "A rebuke works deeper in
one having understanding than striking a stupid one a hundred times."
99.9% of times JW Children get scolded.
