I always hear the saying that kids don’t come with a training manual. I don’t agree. The Bible is the only book I will ever need to raise my kid. Here are a few scriptures I’ve used as a guide for parenting. I pray they will be a blessing to you too.
Proverbs 22:6 ESV
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 23:13 ESV
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Colossians 3:21 ESV
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Proverbs 29:17 ESV
Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
Proverbs 19:18 ESV
Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death.
1 Samuel 1:27-28 ESV
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
3 John 1:4 ESV
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Isaiah 54:13 ESV
All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.

Matthew 12:33 ESV
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
Proverbs 31:27-28 ESV
She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 ESV
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
