And when this step becomes necessary, the child should be seriously impressed with the thought that this is not done for the gratification of the parent, or to indulge arbitrary authority, but for the child’s own good. He should be taught that every fault uncorrected will bring unhappiness to himself, and will displease God. Under such discipline children will find their greatest happiness in submitting their wills to the will of their heavenly Father. {CT 117.1}

(117) Og når dette skridt bliver nødvendigt, bør barnet indprentes alvorligt med tanken at dette gøres ikke for at tilfredsstille forældrene, eller give efter for egensindig autoritet, men er for barnets bedste. Det bør lære at alle fejl der ikke rettes vil bringe ulykke til ham selv, og vil mishage Gud. Under en sådan opdragelse vil børn finde deres største lykke ved at underlægge sig deres vilje under deres himmelske Faders vilje.
