To connect with Frederic Gray, you can visit his websites at either: http://www.FredericGray.com or http://wwww.FatherDaughterRetreat.com.
Here are the steps Frederic outlined for us:
When to spank: When they clearly understand the rules they broke and your expectations of them.
- Make sure they understand that the most important thing to do is obey God.
- Find a private place to spank them.
- Speak super gentle to them and without anger.
- Have them tell you what they were supposed to do, but didn't.
- Ask them: "Did you obey Daddy?"
- Ask them: "Did you obey God?"
- Share a verse from the Bible on discipline (Ex. Prov. 13:24).
- Ask them: "What is God telling me to do?" (child: to spank me)
- Ask them: "If I don't spank you, am I obeying God?"
- Tell them: "I want to obey God, because I love you and I love God."
- Ask them (again):"Do you know why I'm going to give you a spanking?"
- Pray with them BEFORE you spank them (while holding them close).
- Use the rod/paddle (NOT your hand) when spanking your child.
- Hit them only on the bottom (let it hurt, but don't damage them).
- Lay with them afterwards to comfort them and affirm them.
