When we send our children off to school, whether private or public, we allow them to be influenced by "teachers," each with their own desires, and other children whom espouse the values learned in their own homes. We will not truly know our children if we send them away for schooling. This I can tell you from my own personal experience. My own parents don't have the slightest inkling of a clue as to who I am, and I'm sure many of you can relate to that.
To send our children away for "learning" is to sabotage our own lineage. Ever since the early beginnings of the 1900s, public schooling -- the will, and intentions of sick people -- began to take root. To desire the best for one's children, who better to teach them, than the children's own parents?
A parent's duty is to teach their children the things which they've learned through mistakes, so that our own children can avoid the errors we made, make their own errors, then further improve upon our teachings in their own children.
Here is a list of how we can better raise our children.
- First, we must teach our children the Truth -- to worship the Lord and acknowledge Jesus.
- Second, we must teach our children to live by the Ten Commandments.
- Third, we must teach our children how to study the Bible.
- Fourth, we must teach our children to use their God given reasoning abilities, and to be skeptical of Earthly knowledge.
- Fifth, we must teach our children to follow their passions, but to temper them with wisdom, and discipline.
- Sixth, we must teach our children to be productive.
- Seventh, if we do all those things, everything else will fall into place.
In all these things, we should show, and instruct our children in how these principles are implemented. I recently saw a quote along the lines of, "teach your children, so that you may spoil your grandchildren."
I pray that we can all raise a wholesome family. God bless you all.
