Parenting is not for the faint of heart; raising children is hard. Like everything, there are different parenting methods and styles, from being overly strict to being overly permissive. It seems like today’s parenting is a free-for-all with no set rules. This forum is discussing modern parenting styles and how they align or misalign with the Bible.

Most parents today would rather be a child’s friend than a person in authority. It makes me wonder what God would say about modern-day parenting. The Bible doesn’t have a specific book or chapter about parenting, but it does have some guidelines to follow.

What do you think? Do modern parenting styles align or misalign with Scripture?

Seriously? Ancient Middle Eastern parenting techniques? The Bible allows for having a disrespectful child stoned to death. Or sell your daughter to the highest bidder.

I am not a fan of gentle parenting, but it should be replaced with good parenting, not ancient methods scattered throughout scripture.
