Proverbs 22:15

"Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away."

Scripture realistically acknowledges that foolishness is natural to children and that discipline is one God-ordained means of addressing it. Parents are not shocked by immaturity or rebellion; they are equipped to respond with corrective action aimed at removing folly. This truth steadies parents when difficult behaviors surface repeatedly.
