But a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
It's funny, my wife is from Germany.
When she first came to the United States and she heard about Attention Deficit Disorder,
ADD, this is what she thought it meant.
She thought it meant that the kid is not getting enough attention.
You know, in reality they mean that the kid can't pay attention.
You know, he can't stay focused, he wants to run around and play like a normal kid.
She thought it meant attention deficit, like he's suffering from an attention deficit,
people aren't spending time with him.
And people laughed at her and said,
it is silly, that's not what it means.
But really, that is what it is.
You know, the parents aren't spending the time with the child.
They're too lazy to take the time to discipline and beat the child.
They're not taking the time to train up the child,
to spend time with the child, to sit down and explain things to the child,
to teach the child right and wrong, to bring the child to church.
You say, why should I come to church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night?
So that your kids will be there Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night?
That's a pretty good reason.
Because every time you lay out at church, the kids aren't in church.
And so, get your kids to church, hey, take the time to teach them and to train them yourself,
don't rely on church, hey, take the time to spank your children,
take time to be with your children.
A child left to himself who has an attention deficit is going to bring his mother to shame.
