When you are a single mom, disciplining your child isn’t the greatest. You want your kid to love you and have fun with you but you have to discipline. The thing about being a single parent is that you have to be the cool parent AND the enforcer. When you are worried about being too hard on your kid, remember that discipline now as a child whose attitudes and morals are still being swayed. Spoiling them now and letting them get away with any disrespect is going to carry over into their teen and adult ages. Remember, God disciplines us the same way we discipline our children. He wants us to learn how to live and how to treat people. We still love Him and can turn to Him when we need help and our children will do the same with us. Don’t worry about being too hard. Respect and good attitudes starts at home with us as parents.

“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”
–Proverbs 13:24

“A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.”
–Proverbs 29:15
