Which launched a discussion of great spankings we have know including the ones we are now told didn t hurt. Well, this went on for over an hour. It was a laughing and loving and learning time for all of us and a reminder of what is probably a parent s biggest challenge. The hope for your child s future is in your discipline of her or of him. Because of a Law of the Universe that a lot of modern kids don t really believe A man reaps what he sows.
Many kids think they can sow and escape the consequences.
After all, you can cover up what you did take precautions. And there is often a delay between the action and the harvest and they mistake consequences delayed for consequences canceled.

And only later do you realize the price you pay in lost reputation, lost trust, lost love, lost self-respect, lost opportunities, or lost innocence.
