Looking back, it is apparent that I was not disciplined enough or correctly.
I spent 20 years of my life farting around until I had an epiphany and came correct. Essentially 20 years wasted.
I want better for my kid(s).
My prayer is that your example of obedience toward our Father God, and continual respect of His authority, and acknowlegement of His love would be copied in your children by their obedience, respect, and love toward you.
Goals, limitations, consequences, and rewards have to be set, explained, and uniformly administered with generous doses of warm affection and spiritual maturity.
May the Lord bless this great venture of raising children.
