and UpbringingDescription:In his book Train Up a Child, Bishop Youssef emphasizes that raising children is a joint parental responsibility,
noting in the introduction that discipline aims for protection and safety, not cruelty. The book explores in a cohesive text chapters on means of discipline including teaching, rewards, and rejecting physical punishment, suitable disciplinary methods for various age groups, followed by making siblings friends through encouragement, respect, and conflict resolution, leading to training our children in responsibility by involving them in decision-making, occupying free time, and wise financial management. The author concludes by stressing that proper upbringing aims to form mature personalities who are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
