Heel: The closest of all parenting relationships (and the goal of every good, gentle parent)

Most parents in the United States believe in solving problems with their child using punishment, which places them in fear of control from parents. Few parents know what it is like to totally accept their child, or children in general.

Heeling to children, and vice versa, comes from Christian love, denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to God striking reverent terror and fear in the sinful hearts of parents, with reverent terror being translated by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos) and refers to being struck with low-level righteous anxiety leading to a change of heart in relation to children, then surrender to God through children, giving up the fight in terms of adult power and control, placing such power and control at the footstool of children, with them treated as royalty, succumbing righteously to the lawful and binding authority that is their children's every need, including attachment needs. It is taking up the cross and sacrificing for children just as Christ did, rendering oneself beneath one's child, devaluing oneself as a caregiver and servant to one's child, leading to good works just for the sake of doing good things for a child, expecting absolutely nothing in return, being grateful for the good you see done to children by your hand. However, rewards usually exist. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to providing custody, meaning a child resting in the loving care and providence of parents, being able to be oneself while resting with parents and say anything to them, receiving care, support, and protection from parents, owing absolutely nothing in return from parents, yet nonetheless showing gratitude by way of hearing the voice of parents, understanding based on developmental capacity, then listening to and heeding that voice, out of the reassurance and familiarity of the voice of parents and not fear of punishment through that out. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and is one of the Greek words that refer to the offenses in the legal context of the Bible, meaning the torts and damages system under the Eighth Commandment, including assault and battery laws that extend to children in terms of protection, summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal offense perceived by the child, stemming from entitlement, meaning the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektês) and refers to wanting things from children, or wanting them to do things for you, to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, leading to abuse by way of offense perceived from said entitled attitude of adults.

It is a terror-stricken feeling that is low-level, in a driving, responsible way. "You better treat me with respect". It is a form of reverent terror leading to parents being in lockstep with their child, meaning the reverse, with children trusting parents enough to instinctively follow them, and parents to feel stuck to their child, submitting to them at the heel in righteous terror and fear. Fathers in ancient Israel righteously righteously deified their children from a healthy distance, with mothers deifying their children closer, seeing them as little extensions of God, taking a vulnerable request for a need, especially attachment needs, as a booming edict from God Himself, shaking and quaking in the light and joy that children naturally give to adults, terrorized righteously by the sheer vulnerability of the child, knowing they could take offense at any time with one wrong step, about anything.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven! Let them burn in the lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
