Our kids are the future. The kind of society we are likely to see in the future is dependent on how we train up our kids. What goes on in the mind of most parents is how to pass down material possessions to their children, like their properties and establishments. All those things are good. But the spiritual virtues that you pass down to a child is more important. The say charity begins at home.
Parents should start with their children first in bringing them into the consciousness of Christ before relaying it to outsiders. The first set of persons that should instill certain knowledge to children are the parents first, then before parents or people in the society comes next.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it._
Children are highly receptive to the things they see their parents do. Majority of the reason why we see people grow and continue in a particular religion and faith is because they were born into a family that practiced that religion. So when they grew up and even grew to the independent stage they continued in it.
When a kid is growing up he or she lacks that ability to make decisions for him or herself and is still uncertain on which path to take. It is the duty of the parents to ensure that the child stays on the right track just as they did so that when they become of age they won't deviate from it. God bless you all.
