Venting!!!

Please forgive me but I need to vent for a minute. My son had a basketball game Thursday night. This is fifth grade basketball! These kids are 10-11 years old. There was a kid on the opposing team with a total attitude problem. This very same kid fouled several times and he got a technical foul. That's right, a technical foul! A fifth grader had a technical foul called on him because if the way he was talking to the referee. A 10 or 11 year old!

What is wrong with today's society, that we have children that young acting like that? If that was my son he would have been off of the court before the ref had a chance to call a technical foul against him. There is no call for that, at home or in public.

None of us want to have to discipline our children, but if we don't discipline them and teach them right from wrong, how will they ever learn. They won't! Parents, We all need to get up off of our rears and do what is right! Our children will not die. Sure they may be mad at us for a while, but they will get over it!

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

Proverbs 23:
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
