The education might be likened to an exciting and challenging journey. It is a journey that you and others make together. You give them encouragement and lovingly provide guidance helping them to progress along the path of life. There is so much for us to learn.
To be truly successful and happy in life, I believe that children must develop moral and spiritual values, learning to distinguish right from wrong. As a parent you will play a major role in what your children learn and how they value and interpret what they learn. There are challenges to be met on this journey. Children are impressionable and from sources outside the family, they can learn many thing that are far from wholesome. As what Satan is a skillful and very experienced educator- but a wicked one indeed. An important step is to take a close look at yourself. You need to set a good example. It is also vital that you accept your responsibility to train your children and take the time needed to do so. Before we consider these points however let us identify the foundation of worthwhile education. The deep understanding of human nature was divinely inspired to point to the foundation of true education. We will be laying the foundation for an education that will make our offspring truly wise. This will help us to put what they learn into proper perspective, not drawing wrong conclusions. They will develop the ability to distinguish both right and wrong. Such a foundation will also help them to remain humble and to avoid what is bad.
Because you are the primary teacher of your children. What they learn from your example will have a profound effect on them. And nothing exerts more influence on a child’s life than parental example. Your dreams ideas values, and interests manifest themselves not only in what you say but also in what you do. From infancy, children learn by carefully observing their parents. Children perceive what is important to their parents and these thing that often become important to young ones.Presumed by present-day demands works and competing interests, parents may be tempted to leave the education of their children to others such as school teachers and child-care professionals. Yet, no one can take the place of a loving, caring parent. You are not perfect and you will make mistakes along the way, but if you sincerely endeavor to do God’s will your children will very likely appreciate your efforts and benefit from them.
Education is a journey that lasts a lifetime. If you and your children loved God, it is a journey that you will be able to enjoy throughout eternity. That is because there will always be more to learn about God, and how we can serve his purpose.
