Ephesians 6:4 ESV
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
God ordained the father as the head of the family. However, fathers are not to rule by force and tyranny, suppressing the children. Instead, they must guide and lead, teach and instruct the children the Word and wisdom of God. As the heart of men is prone to evil, the fathers also must use discipline to keep their children in the right path and turn away from sinful things and evil thoughts.
