When you discipline your children, you are making disciples. Discipline is defined as training that develops self-control. Discipline begins with clearly communicating, instructing, and teaching your children. Both the Old Testament and New Testament word for discipline support this definition containing all three levels. Level 2 is training .
Training means to lead and direct the growth of the child.
It includes helping the child form habits and develop proficiency in his instruction. Level 3 is correction . Correction meant to alter or adjust a child's behavior by taking action to cause him to follow previous instruction. Therefore, correction follows instruction. A child needs correction when he knows your instructions and doesn' t follow them.
