Raising good children

There is a saying, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Pr. 22: 6). Parents face many obstacles in raising kids. When we add all the distractions and the pressures in today’s world, parenting becomes even more than a challenge. A huge part of that challenge is passing on your faith to kids whose priorities are more focused on video & mobile games, sporting events, and the latest trends in clothes. And let’s not forget to mention peer pressure and media pressure that offers temptations to kids to do drugs, drink alcohol and get involved sexually. Today’s kids face an overall absence of godly examples and moral living in a society that is moving toward “freedom from religion” instead of “freedom of religion.”
