“Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him” (Proverbs 22:15)

In Proverbs, wisdom and righteousness go hand in hand, as do folly and sin. Parents are God’s instruments, called to shepherd their child’s hearts to Him. Your child’s folly is not cute. It is deadly. If you really love them, you will discipline them.
