It is so important to discipline your children in love. To discipline them in God's love means you discipline them in real love. So many children today, even in so called Christian countries, are brought up in a society that has lost the understanding of disciplining children according to 'God's will and purposes. No wonder that so many young people are disrespectful to their parents and to all those in authority. They have few if any biblical guidelines to their behaviour and consequently many are hooked on drugs and become violent against society's expectations.
