    Sounds like the guy definitely has a rebellious teen. I doubt teens and Facebook mix well, but I don’t visit Facebook enough to know.

    Anyway, as much as I applaud involved fathers I doubt the wisdom of this video. Admittedly, that video certain flair, but fathers should set the example for their children, not imitate them. When our kids do something foolish, we correct them.

    We should avoid disciplining children in public. We should praise our children in public, not shame them.

    When our children do something wrong, we must make them aware of the wrongness. We must make certain they understand there will be consequences, but that is not the end of the matter. When we do something wrong — when we sin — we must repent. Without repentance, God will not forgive us. Therefore, when we punish a child, we should not construct the punishment so that that the act of repentance increases their public humiliation. When the mere act of admitting we need God already stings our pride, why add to the difficulty?

    Instead of making it difficult for our children to repent and obey God, we should praise them for doing so — let them know that their obedience to our Creator increases our pride in them. And we should provide an example with our own lives.

    Grounding the kid, taking her Facebook site down, and giving her laptop to charity would have accomplished most of what needed to be done. What remains? I don’t know, but I suspect Daddy and Mommy need to spend more time with their child.
