"Parents have the first responsability for the education of their children. They bear the responsability first by creating a home where tenderness, forgivness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well-suited for education in the virtues. This requires an apprenticeship in self-denial, sound judgement, and self-mastery- the preconditions of all true freedom."
CCC 2223
"He who loves his son will not spare the rod... He who disciplines his son will profit by him."
Proverbs 13:24
"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."
Ephesians 6:4
