Bend the tree while it is young
Answers
Answer:
You see it almost every day outside the courthouse where mothers and other family members of young criminals gather to support their remanded loved one with cries of “Not my good child,” “He’s only a child,” “He’s too young” and even “Give him another chance, he didn’t know what he was doing.”
Many ministers of the word say they shake their heads when they see such displays because often times it is the lack of proper guidance of the same concerned individuals that facilitated the overall downfall of their loved one.
A Bible verse says to train up a child in the way he should go so he will not stray far from his path and even common proverbs say to bend a tree while it’s young, but in today’s world many parents are forgetting how important such things are, says Bishop Arnold Josey, senior pastor of Commonwealth Mission Baptist Church.
“From my pre-ministerial background as a police officer I have personally seen young people fall into worse and worse criminal behavior that leads to jail and court time due to their background and lack of proper parental guidance in some cases,” he says.
“I strongly believe in the concept that if a child learns to lie, he will learn to steal and then he will learn to murder. It’s a graduation process kind of,” he continues. “If you let your child lie to you without punishing him adequately he will keep on doing and his conscience will become silent so other negative activities like stealing will eventually come naturally.”
The bishop says it is important for parents to be more vigilant and disciplinary with their children because the lack of punishment shows the child there are no repercussions for bad behavior. He says parents feeling it’s not a big deal if their child “accidentally” brings home a ruler that isn’t his is the start of their child’s ruin. In some cases it may honestly be a mistake but as parents even so it is important he knows he must return it and apologize. Ensuring children do this while young helps make them trustworthy adults.
It is also a mistake to only reprimand or punish their child who loses his things for being careless and not finding out just where it went or who may have taken it. In doing this a child who may not have guidance or whose “innocent” criminal act has not been found out will feel some heat from some form of authority and know he is wrong.
“Not putting heat on children and letting them do what they want — not checking their bags or questioning where he got items you did not purchase for him — is a recipe for disaster,” the bishop says.
