Proverbs 29:15
Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
The combination of discipline and reproof is a wise means of teaching children. This verse reminds us that the discipline provided by parents is crucial for a child’s growth in wisdom. Children left without guidance or boundaries often bring shame to their parents, as they lack the structure needed to thrive. The discipline referenced here is not punitive but a form of loving guidance that shapes the child’s character and prepares them for life’s challenges. By offering wisdom through correction, parents help children develop a strong moral foundation that leads to good decision-making and a respectful life.
