Discipline and instruction are integral parts of being a good parent. Proverbs 13:24 says, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Children who grow up in undisciplined households feel unwanted and unworthy.
Ayon sa Kawikaan 13:24, "Mapagmahal na magulang, anak ay dinidisiplina, anak na di napapalo, hindi mahal ng magulang." Ang mga anak na lumaki sa sambahayang walang disiplina ay nakadarama na hindi sila tinatanggap at hindi sila karapatdapat sa kanilang tahanan.
