I notice, in my church anyway, that parents don't seem to discipline their children anymore. They are whiny, disruptive, and if they are taken out, nothing is done.

When my kids were toddlers, they got taken out. My son was one who just asked for it....LOL! He got his spankin, and we came back in and sat down. He only went to the nursery for SS, never for regular service.

I wasn't 'in church' at the time, but would attend with my mother. The pastor, who was mine the entire time I grew up there, admonished me from the pulpit to put him in the nursery, but I refused. My mother also didn't put him in the nursery when she brought him.

I think children should be taught, perhaps from about the age of two, how to behave in service. They can play, eat a snack, whatever, but they can be taught to do those things quietly.
