Righteous co-sleeping: Why God wants parents to sleep next to their children

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the irresponsible choice for a parent to make. This is a common attitude from American parents. Most American parents do not co-sleep next to their children. The fact of the matter is that when using the context as a guidepost, co-sleeping is the right way to gel a bond with a child.

Righteous co-sleeping is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falls squarely onto parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. The parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment in biblical times was seen as akin to holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

It is common knowledge that children under age 6, in most cases, refuse to go to bed on their own. This bedtime refusal is a common excuse for punishing children. However, the fact of the matter is that children under age 6 are not ready to sleep on their own. Most children have a primal fear of being devoured by predators. Many parents will say that predators don't exist today. They would be wrong. Most child sexual abuse is a bedtime ritual, when the child was isolated in a room by themselves. However, that bedtime ritual did not happen in the Early Church, and this was because mom was right there. The mother used herself as a human shield if the child needed protection from the sexual entitlement of fathers. Co-sleeping came in the form of skin-on-skin warmth and closeness, which ended when children reached the onset of puberty in most cases.

The most common excuse for not co-sleeping stems from fearmongering on the part of pediatricians and mental health professionals serving children, with the term "sleep dependence". However, children growing up in the Early Church slept next to their mothers in skin-on-skin warmth, with this co-sleeping closeness lasting until the onset of puberty. Even when children slept next to mothers longer, all co-sleeping had an end to it. I slept next to my mother until age 16, which was when I wanted to prove my independence to my mother.

Co-sleeping is the ultimate way to gel a bond with children. Children growing up in the Early Church were snuggled next to mothers in skin-on-skin warmth and closeness. The family bed was completely nude in the Early Christian context. Mothers laid down between fathers and children, protecting children from the sexual entitlement of fathers.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Temper tantrums: Why temper tantrums are not bad behavior

Many parents think that temper tantrums are deserving of punishment. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents think that a tantrumming child is undermining them as parents. However, the fact of the matter is that temper tantrums are a form of communication on the part of children.

Tending to temper tantrums is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof in this mutual submission relationship falling on parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refer to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. The parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Temper tantrums are not bad behavior. Instead, temper tantrums are how children communicate a vulnerable need. Whenever children cried, mothers cooed at their children before picking them up, and from there, she diagnosed the need and then met it. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period.

When children who were milk-dependent cried, they were offered the teat of mothers. Breastfeeding happened in the Early Church even in public. This breastfeeding setup ended when the child pushed away the teat of mothers.

Many times, children throw temper tantrums due to hearing the word "no". In the Early Christian churches, children were told "no" seldom, meaning almost never. Children got most everything that they wanted, and absolutely everything that they needed. The only lawful reason to say "no" was when the petitioned requests of children were unsafe, unworkable, and/or immoral. The petitioned wants and needs of children were seen as a lawful and binding command coming from children, for parents to heel to. 

When children under age 6 cried in public, they were wrapped up next to the bosom of mothers, and from there, their cries were pacified. However, all the child had to do was point to an item that they wanted - usually sweets or candy - and then the mothers got the item off of the shelf for the child. 

The swaddling blankets - and the child with them - in most cases were tucked underneath the loose-fitting, revealing dress worn by mothers that resembled an apron. The swaddling blankets were, from there, tied from the left breast, then across the dot to the right leg, or vice versa, or both in the case of twins. Swaddling blankets were made of velvet, which was grown throughout the Ancient Middle East. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Preventing public meltdowns: How to curtail public meltdowns

Many parents think that children deserve punishment merely for throwing temper tantrums in public. However, children growing up in the Early Church usually did not throw kicking and screaming temper tantrums in public. Instead, cries were pacified using swaddling blankets that mothers wrapped their children in. 

Swaddling blankets were a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof in this mutual submission relationship falling squarely on the parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

When mothers and children under age 6 were out and about in public, mom wrapped up her young child next to her bosom in swaddling blankets. From there, mothers tucked the swaddling blankets - and the child with them - underneath her loose-fitting, revealing dress worn by mothers that resembled an apron. The swaddling blankets were tied to the left breast of the mother, and then across the dot to the right leg of the mother, or vice versa, or both in the case of twins. Whenever children cried, the cries were pacified, with mothers holding the swaddled child even closer. When children were milk-hungry, the mother offered her child the teat, even in public, with this breastfeeding closeness happening until the child pushed away the teat of the mother. The swaddling blankets were made of velvet, which was grown throughout the Ancient Middle East.

Children usually thew temper tantrums in public in the Early Church when they were given the word "no". However, the word "no" was used on children seldom, meaning almost never. Most of the time, mothers were to either say "yes" or else strike up a compromise with their children. Parents were to heel to the commands of their children, giving them most everything that they wanted, and absolutely everything that they needed. In public, young children under age 6 usually wanted candy or sweets, in which case the child pointed to the item while wrapped up in swaddling blankets, and the mother bought the item for the child. Older children past age 6 were given their own spending money, and then they went shopping for whatever they wanted. Children did not have to do chores to be given spending money, and instead were given free money. That way, children learned the finite nature of money when they took too much off of the shelf.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Righteous ordering: Why parents are to heel to the command of their children

Many parents think that they call the shots. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents want their children to heel to their command. However, the fact of the matter is that the Bible commands that parents heel to the command of their children.

Righteous ordering is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof in a parent-child relationship falling squarely on the parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents.

This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Christian parents in the Early Church were required to heel to the command of their children, as per customary law. This means that parents were to say "yes" to pretty much every command coming from their children. The only way that parents could disobey the commands of their children was when said commands were unsafe, unworkable, and/or immoral. Even then, parents usually struck up a compromise with their children. Children need to hear a flat out "no" rarely, meaning almost never. Whenever Christian parents in the Early Church said "no" flat out, children were reassured with reassurance and an explanation. Children growing up in the Early Church got most everything that they wanted, and absolutely everything that they needed. Instead of parents setting limits all of the time, children set limits with parents in the Early Church.

Righteous ordering can be understood as going to a restaurant. You can have it your way, but it has to be on the menu. If an item is not available, the waitress is nice about it, even if you aren't. Parenting a child should be like being waitstaff at a restaurant. The child gives the order to mom and dad, and children in most cases get what they want. 

Righteous ordering also be understood in policing terms. The parent gives up the fight with their child, and gives in to the orders of their children. The role of children in biblical times was to enforce their needs onto their parents, petitioning parents as to what they need, with parents then giving children almost everything that they wanted, and absolutely everything that they needed.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Redefining child abuse: Why our Judeo-Christian values call for expanding child abuse definitions

Many parents think that there are no answers in the Bible concerning child abuse. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents are opposed to more stringent child abuse definitions that would ban all corporal punishment against children. However, the fact of the matter is that the Bible calls for expanding child abuse definitions to include anything offensive towards a child.

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Most parents want their children to listen to them. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement is when parents or other adults throw a temper tantrum when they don't get what they feel they deserve from children. Any parent or adult anger towards a child was deemed to be parental entitlement in the Early Church. When children are personally offended by the temper tantrum imposed on them, it becomes child abuse. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by children, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. The parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined as a slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents  who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Sweden was the first country in modern times to ban all punishment of children, with this ban being passed into law in 1979. However, even before that, many ancient cultures prohibited punitive parenting under their law, and that included the Early Church. In the Early Christian context, anything that the child perceived as offensive was deemed child abuse, meaning anything stemming from entitlement.

Modern Israel had an anti-spanking law dating back to 2000. Even before that, some form of anti-spanking law existed in Jewish circles. The ban on punitive parenting simply allowed for the secular courts to step in, in the case of child abuse. Since then, the Israeli Knesset passed a law legislating a ban on all domestic violence, including domestic violence against children. All violence within the confines of a family home/is now deemed domestic violence or else domestic abuse.

Our Judeo-Christian family values, when properly understood, call for the immediate expansion of child abuse definitions. It isn't enough to treat an injury once the child arrives at the hospital. The secular law should prohibit all punishment of children, including all forms of corporal punishment. But, anything the child perceives as offensive or damaging should be treated as child abuse by the secular courts.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! 

Righteous pampering: Why God wants you to pamper your children

Many parents don't want to be seen as pampering their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents instead punish their children. However, the fact of the matter is that God want parents to pamper and baby their children when following the context as a guidepost.

Righteous pampering is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely on the part of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents.

This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Righteous pampering does not refer to just any old pampering, but instead pampering based on the context that God chose to write to. For the first 6 years of childhood, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went, so did her child. For the first 2 years of childhood, children were constantly held by mothers, either in her loving arms, or on mom's back in a papoose bag when her hands were full. Between ages 2-6, children ranged next to mothers, following mom from room to room, not allowing mom out of their line of sight, morbidly fearing that mom would "go away and never come back". Whenever children cried, mothers cooed at children before picking them up, and from there, she diagnosed the need and then met that need. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period.  When mothers and children under age 6 were out and about in public, mom wrapped up her child next to her bosom in swaddling blankets, with the swaddling blankets - and the child with them - being tucked underneath the loose-fitting, revealing dress worn by mothers that resembled an apron. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with this skin-on-skin co-sleeping warmth happening every night, until the onset of puberty, which is when children wanted their own place to sleep. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the confines of the family home. This birth nudity setup helped facilitate easy skin-on-skin contact, with children getting rays of skin-on-skin warmth whenever they were even picked up. 

Starting when children turned age 6, children were allowed to play freely in the neighborhood, naked. Children ventured farther and farther from home, exploring the terrain, playing high risk games such as "marriage". But, first, children needed to check in with mom before heading out. Come nightfall, children were called by name - one by one - and then were treated to a warm, homecooked meal on a porcelain plate. From there, children retreated to the family bed of parents, recharging for another day's play.

Children under age 6 were not allowed to leave the home without being carried by their mothers. This was because there existed hazards in the neighborhood, namely venomous snakes and scorpions, with there being no antivenom then. Today, there also exists environmental hazards for children, such as busy streets and oncoming cars. Even in a wooded area, there exists berries that might be poisonous. Christian parents in the Early Church were very protective of their children, in a sheltering way.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior

Many parents have to deal with it. Their child cries in the middle of Wal-Mart. Most American parents punish and reprimand their children when they "embarrass" their parents through their tears. Many parents believe crying to be deserving of punishment in and of itself. However, the fact of the matter is that children cry when they are communicating a vulnerable need, the best way they know how.

Tending to a crying child is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents.

This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and  even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Crying is not bad behavior in a child, at all. Most Christian mothers in the Early Church instead tended to the cries of their children. Whenever a child cried in the Early Christian church communities, mothers cooed at their children before picking them up, and from there, she diagnosed the need and met it. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period. 

Cooing is a primal vocalization on the part of mothers, with that vocalization putting a crying child at ease. When children heard their mothers cooing at them, the cries of the child were then pacified. From there, mothers diagnosed the need, and then met it.

One way of dealing with a crying child is allow them to suckle the teat of mothers. In the Early Church, breastfeeding could happen everywhere, including even in public. Whenever the child latched onto the teat of mothers, they needed mom's milk. Breastfeeding officially ended when the child pushed away the teat of the mother, which is when parents in the Early Church introduced their child to solid food.

Most children who cry out loud are either ignored, or worse, punished. However, most crying in a child is developmentally appropriate behavior given the age and development of a child. When children don't grow up in some way, that is a sign of a developmental disorder such as autism and/or ADHD.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
