When my twins were 3, I babysat for 2year old twin boys and their 5 year old sister. It worked just fine with them, as it did with one certifiable 9 yr old hellion we taught in one of our classes at church, and the countless boys that come to play at our house. Boys are highly distractable. Putty in the hands.

What sort of classses?
What sort of "church"?
The Bible teaches parents not to "spare the rod."
It also teaches that a father who "spares the rod hates his son.
Is God's word a reliable guidebook, or do you prefer your system?
