Biblical principles equal excellence in children’s lives

By using Biblical principles, you can guide your child to pursue excellence in life.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2015 — Raising your child in America in the 21st century can seem like a challenging task with many of the negative and threatening influences parents of faith deal with regularly. Yet, there is no reason for Christian parents to give up or give in. In fact, by using many biblical principles you can guide your child to pursue excellence and grow into a well-adjusted adult.
The first step begins when your child is a baby or at the latest a young toddler. The journey for your child is also a journey of discovery or even rediscovery for parents as well. The Bible is very clear about the role and responsibility that parents have in guiding and raising children.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Training a baby or a toddler means more than simply talking to your young one and hoping that something will catch on. A parent is a teacher, comforter, confider and, when necessary, a disciplinarian. Babies learn from watching as much as from what they are being told. Excellence is planned and it means setting goals, which also means setting behavior measurements for parental conduct as well.
