Parental Authority
A parent’s authority (the right to govern and dictate) in the home is given by God for the good of the child ().

Authority refers to the prerogative to rule or govern others.
It has to do with the right to regulate and control the activities of one or more individuals.

If we withhold instruction, we withhold blessing.
Discipline (instruct, correct, punish)
We must use our authority to discipline (instruct, correct, and punish) our children.
As a school administrator, I observe that most parents do I understand the appropriateness and necessity of being in charge in willing to say, for instance, “I have prepared oatmeal for your breakfast.
It is a good, nutritious food and I want you to eat it.
Maybe other mornings we will have something you like better.”
Many are saying, “What do you want for breakfast?
You don’t want the oatmeal I have prepared; would you like something else?”
This sounds very nice and enlightened, but what is really happening?
The child is learning that he is the decision maker.
The parent only suggests the options.
This scenario is repeated in the experience of young children in clothing choices, schedule choices, free-time choices and so forth.
By the time the child is six or eight or ten, he is his own boss.
By age thirteen the child is out of control, parents can cajole, plead, urge (in frustration and anger), scream and threaten, but the child is his own boss.
The parent has long since given up the decision-making prerogative in the child’s life.
How did it happen?
It crept in at a very early age as the parent made every decision a smorgasbord of choices for the child to decide.

Article: Why are our children so bored at school, cannot wait, get easily frustrated and have no real friends?
We exercise our authority to discipline (instruct, correct, and punish) .
This discipline cultivates not only godly character, but contrary to what it sometimes appears in the moment, it creates love and honor between parent and child (; ).
We exercise our authority to discipline (instruct, correct, and punish) in love and wisdom, not anger and manipulation.
This discipline cultivates not only godly character, but creates love and honor between parent and child.
Hebrews 12
We discipline in love and wisdom, not anger and manipulation.
Godly Goals
With vision and revelation through knowledge and instruction, we can exercise discipline and perseverance in doing what is right and walk in the blessings of obedience ().
The biblical instruction and example we give our children will enable them to exercise godly discipline and enjoy righteous fruit.
We have to evaluate.
How are we ordering our daily lives so that we are properly training our children in the way they should go?
What are the goals I have for my children?
Relationship with Jesus?
Education?
Skill Development?
Honorable and Honoring Relationships?
First have goals and a plan to fulfill them.
Second, let the guiding source of motivation for our goals be for God to be glorified in the process and the results.
