Child abuse vs. discipline – Whats the difference?
The difference between child abuse and child discipline may seem obvious to most. However, to an inexperienced parent who isn’t sure where to draw the line, there may be some confusion. Or to extremists on both sides of the child-rearing fence, there may seem to be no difference. The Bible offers many guidelines and lessons that help to clarify the difference. Child abuse is just what the words imply. . .abusing a child, sometimes resulting in death. Child abuse consists of anything that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional well being and development.
