1. Children must be supervised.
Without it they will make the wrong choice.
2. If you can’t take the time to watch your children, don’t have children.
(Someone needs to say this.)
3. Children must be given opportunities to learn.
Learn to look for learning opportunities.
4. Children will learn to love God only if the parents love God.
And even then it is no guarantee.
5. Children will blame God for the bad in their lives unless parents direct them to see bad as the consequences of sin in the world and Christ as the only answer to that sin.
