Often people use one or two verses from the book of Proverbs to develop a whole system of discipline for their children particularly verses encouraging corporal punishment. Author Paul Wegner points out that in reality, Proverbs, when taken as a whole, encourages its readers to use multiple levels of discipline for effectiveness. The levels fall into three main categories: learning guidelines, reiterating guidelines, and enforcing guidelines. These progressive levels of discipline have been used for generations to curb misbehavior; in fact, it’s the same type of discipline God uses with His people.

From the Back Cover:

 “The ultimate goal of child-rearing is to take that newborn bundle of joy and gradually, over the next two decades, mold him or her into a mature, responsible, loving adult.  It is a 24/7 job that will change the parent as much as the child.” – Dr. Paul Wegner

  Children aren’t born knowing everything they need to know to become mature, responsible human beings. Parents must teach them. But sometimes, at the end of the day, the exhausted, frazzled, or frustrated parent asks ... HOW? Author Paul Wegner has good news for parents: you’ll find the answer in the Old Testament book of Proverbs. In Wise Parenting you will find: -- Clear Guidelines from the book of Proverbs for Disciplining Your Children -- Progressive Levels of Discipline with Practical Applications -- Real-Life Stories and Examples that Show Principles of Discipline at Work -- Study Questions and Exercises for Review and Reflection Dr. Wegner explains that it’s a mistake to base a discipline system on the one or two verses in Proverbs that deal with corporal punishment, as many do. Viewing the book of Proverbs in its entirety, however, reveals that there are multiple and progressive levels of discipline parents must use to effectively instruct and correct their children. In Wise Parenting you’ll discover how this biblical discipline will help you train up a well-behaved child. In fact, says the author, it’s the same type of correction God uses with His children. “The Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights” says Proverbs 3:12. We discipline our children because we love them, just as our heavenly Father disciplines us because He loves us.
