I'd love to know how to discipline in the moment with Scripture. Perhaps this just requires memorizing and hiding the truth of God in my heart and then praying that the Holy Spirit brings it to mind in the moment. However, I sometimes say to my children, "Stop doing that or…" and usually I don't know what to say after that. Sometimes they are doing something dangerous and I've learned from others to find an appropriate discipline for the action/infraction, but I have a hard time coming up with the "appropriate discipline" for just about everything. I feel like I use the "go to your room/time out" thing way too much and I'm not really sure it's Biblical.
