Biblical Parenting Principles

• Training is instructing and enforcing specific
  behaviors
• Parents should expect even their crawlers to
  obey.
• Parents are always training their children for
  good or bad.
• If the parent does not purposely train their
  child, then the child trains the parent.
• Well thought-out routines are a prerequisite to
  training.
