This is what I learned when I have a big mouth toward my children. Sometimes you have to bit your tongue and really think about what you are going to say before you say it.

Speaking Loudly
Prov. 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Prov. 25:15 By long forbearing (to keep back, withhold) is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

- Anger is removed by a gentle response, but a heated response fuels the flame
- Patience is ultimately persuasive, and a gentle answer gets a desired response

Prov. 15:18 Wrathful man stirath up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth (to bring to a state of peace) strife (contention).

Prov. 15:28 The righteous studieth to answer or thinks before he speaks, but the wicked blurts out whatever is on his mind.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Psalm 141:3


Yes I agree totally JesusLoves.....I ask the Lord to guard my tongue so that only His love is shown when I feel angry or when discipline is needed.

I still slip up and sometimes shout but through it learn that it achieves nothing....apart from teaching my daughters to yell.

May our voices only speak that which is glorifying to the Lord



Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye
Colossians 3:12-13

Yes I do believe the same on it teaching your young ones to learn to yell just the same when they become adults.

Yes indeed there is no need to yell, give them clear boundaries and rules. I f they fracture them then discipline them consistently. If the discipline is to be effective in correcting their behavior, then the punishment must not fit the crime the punishment must be extreme. Not much is learned from a little tap on the patties. John Rosemond has many good books and resources on parenting.

Thats lovely to hear brother.....gently tending your flock and keeping them in the Word of God

Beautiful learning and instruction.......much better than yelling and frustration

May you and your family be richly blessed sharing the Word of the Lord with your son this way.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
