"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." Along with clear directions, God has given everyone freedom to choose their own path in life. By raising children in a Godly manner, we instill in them love, respect, kindness, resilience and peace so that they may choose the right path for themselves.
