You should work hard to provide food, housing and clothing for your children. (1 Timothy 5:8) But in order for your children to find happiness, you also need to
teach them to love God and to learn from him (Ephesians 6:4)
Your example in showing love for God can deeply influence your child's heart. When based on God's Word, your instruction can mold your child's thinking in a positive way. -
Read Deuteronomy 6:4-7; Proverbs 22:6.
Children benefit when you
encourage and commend them. They also need
and
correction and discipline. Such training protects them from conduct that could rob them of happiness. (Proverbs 22:15) Yet, discipline should never be harsh or cruel. -
Read Colossians 3:21.
