Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers. Parents have duties as well as children.
Two are named.
Provoke not your children to wrath. Passionate and unreasonable
rebukes, intemperate language, or cruel usage, would provoke resentment
on the part of children.
But bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The
Revised Version reads: "Nurture them in the chastening and admonition
of the Lord". Training and restraining as well as admonition are
implied. The Lord holds all parties responsible for a Christian
training of their children.
