How to GET RESULTS! - Garner Ted Armstrong - February 1962

Garner Ted Armstrong

You can punish your children in love - and GET RESULTS! But to be effective, to really have it payoff, you need to know HOW to punish, what with, how often, how soon, how hard - and when NOT to spank! The mere suggestion of spanking a small child, or "hitting" a child, as the psychologists like to refer to it, will send some into a veritable frenzy of indignant anger! But why? Why SHOULD the human mind be so HOSTILE toward loving, kind, careful punishment by a parent who is earnestly teaching and guiding his child? It is because that mind is CARNAL! "For the CARNAL mind (natural, fleshly, not begotten of God's Spirit) is ENMITY toward God. It is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be!" (Rom. 8:7.) God is love. But God PUNISHES every child upon whom He lavishes His heavenly love! (Heb. 12:5-11.) His very nature is that of a loving, just Parent who administers PUNISHMENT for His own children's good! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
