Wisdom - Are Children born wise?

VERSE:

Proverbs 29:15

15 To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

LESSON:

Wisdom - Are Children born wise?

No.  They gain wisdom...one life lesson at a time.  How do we acquire wisdom?  We must be taught it.  By whom?  Our Parents, School Teachers, Sunday School Teachers, Ministers, and others that love and care for and about us.  In this verse, we are told that, in most cases, the first person to begin to impart wisdom to us...is our mothers.  What happens if mothers do not take this responsibility seriously?  They can become embarrassed...because one of the traits of the child without adequate age appropriate wisdom...is being "undisciplined".
