Thank you for the practical advice from this passage. To be encouraging while correcting children is a very difficult task, but I do appreciate the reminder of not overlooking opportunities to encourage children while instructing them.
It's something I need to tell myself. Noticing when our children do what is right and commending them is our responsibility. The Larger Catechism says, "commending, and rewarding such as do well."
