"Don’t cave in, Mom. Don’t believe your children when they moan and kick and scream. Don’t listen to the growing mass of outsiders who are nothing more than whiners who rebelled against their own parents and never grew up (and are now running the country).You keep on being the parent God intended you to be; set limits, create boundaries, challenge selfishness. Be willing to face short-term rejection in anticipation of long-term benefits."

Parents must consider the benefit of due correction, and the mischief of undue indulgence.

Matthew Henry
