Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”

THREE PHASES:

1. Training (childhood)

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 13:24
Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.

1. Be clear

2. Be convincing

3. Be consistant

4. Be compassionate

2. Teaching (adolescence)
