Home Built Discipline: Developing Initiative, Self-control and Responsibility In Your Child By Raymond
and Dorothy Moore
Home Built Discipline
One thing not in dispute when it comes to having a civilized society is the way in which that society is
civilized: through discipline. The reason laws and rules are put in place in our nation is to ensure the safety of
society’s citizens. When those laws are violated, discipline is applied to accomplish two things: enable the
punishment to fit the crime and to keep the peace.
There are two prevailing thoughts as to how children are to be raised and to become responsible adults in order for
law and order to be kept: corporal punishment, usually by means of spanking when the occasion calls for it and
‘time outs’; this exercised by way of reasoning with the child. Regardless which side you come down on,
“Home Built Discipline” is a surefire way to guide you through the process to
give your child every means by which to grow up disciplined and ready for society.
At the very beginning of the book, the Moores make it clear that discipline is not simply dispensed as a
punishment. Under no circumstances should the parent ever use corporal punishment when angry with the child. Anger
is only one letter away from danger, and the adult should always be on guard to avoid that approach at all
cost.
What “Home Built Discipline”
endeavors to provide is all the necessary insights for effective discipline by which the child will not only
grow up in control of their emotions, but then enter into adulthood with the maturity needed to remain in
control. “Home Built Discipline” is full of helpful chapters that will give both you and your children
what is needed to develop proper love, firmness and consistency, forming the foundational principles on which to
build their life.
“Home Built Discipline” is divided into four parts plus an invaluable study guide that takes each of the
chapters and applies life scenarios to be administered within either a group setting or as a private study. Part
one provides instruction on learning how to apply matter of fact discipline from a discipleship position. In part
two, you will gain insight as to why discipline is needed in the first place. You are taken through each age level,
from toddler through their first five years, the transition years between six and eight, culminating from age nine
into their teenage years.
In part three of “Home Built Discipline” the Moores provide invaluable insight regarding community
service, covering ten building blocks of commonsense discipline. Addressing areas from proper etiquette to the need
for constructive work as well as play, you will also enable your child to manage money plus understand the
importance of proper rest, nutrition and exercise. All this will give your child what he or she will need to live a
healthy and happy life.
In part four titled ‘The Ministry Of Tenderness’ you will find a wealth of information to help with special needs
children as well as the everyday needs of all children. You will gain helpful insights to effectively deal with
everything from depression to discouragement. “Home Built Discipline” also provides the wherewithal to
allow girls to grow up to be women and boys to become men.
Throughout this book you will come to realize just how much time and sacrifice was put into writing, documenting
and editing this timeless tome by the Moores. In between the pages of “Home Built
Discipline” you will find that, what worked so well in the past is still sorely needed in the home and
society today. The information and evergreen approach of “Home Built Discipline” is something you will
truly enjoy and appreciate for years to come.
