Record in your heart these words that I am commanding you today. Inculcase them continuously to your children. Tell them about them when you are at home and when you go along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 6: 6-7
Pray for your children and your family
The greatest influence a mother can have on her children is through prayer. When she stands in the gap for her beloved son, the Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth, he hears and answers their prayers. One of the most powerful principles in the Scriptures is to pray the Word. When we pray God's promises for our children, our faith increases because we are using God's own words.
When I found out that I was pregnant, my baby barely had 5 weeks of gestation, my baby was at risk because the umbilical cord had suffered a slight detachment of the placenta, immediately my doctor gave me a treatment and I ordered not to get up. the bed for a month, I have never been very good to take treatments or medications take the medication for a week I no longer tolerated them, I got tired, I began to pray and declare a word of healing in my womb, in my uterus in all my being , I began to pray from that moment and I felt I did not continue taking medication, I felt that the danger had already passed, when I returned to the doctor he told me it is no longer necessary to continue with the treatment and the placenta has adhered to the umbilical cord, so always I thank the king for everything he has done for me, for my son and my family he is God of the impossible, and soon he will fulfill in the name of Jesus five beautiful years, every day I pray for my son, I declare a word It's a blessing on his life, because I love him and I hope he is a man of courage who loves and serves God with all his heart.
Instill your children with biblical principles
Children tend to be restless and easily distracted. This is a great challenge for parents. The child's attention may quickly jump from one thing to another. And it is not surprising, because his curiosity drives him to discover the world that surrounds him. but it is also true that children are the reflection of parents most of the things we do and we say they tend to repeat them as their pattern to follow, if they see us reading the bible of insurance they will be interested in learning to read the bible, or if we sing praises to the king they will also do it, if we speak with correct language they too, if we attend the congregation they will do it.
A good education from small will produce good results.
Train the child in the right way,
and even in his old age he will not abandon it.
Proverbs 22: 6
Instill the universal values
There are a series of qualities of the human being that are usually considered positive. Some of the universal values can be respect, freedom, kindness, justice, equality, love, responsibility, honesty, solidarity, truth, courage, friendship, honor and peace.
Instill good habits
Customs are repeated behaviors that become habits and then run unthinkingly as if they were part of our lives.
Some of them are healthy, such as saying hello and being nice, cleaning up, cleaning our homes, etc .
others are neutral with no rating, such as drinking mate or meeting friends to watch a football game;
and others are bad, when they cause some damage for those who practice it or for others.
Correct your children on time with love and wisdom, not abuse.
Many times parents are either very passive or very aggressive when it comes to disciplining their children. Those who do not believe in physical punishment sometimes lack the ability to correct and discipline correctly, causing their children to grow up as unruly and challenging children. This will hurt your children in the long run. "The rod and the correction give wisdom; but the spoiled child will shame his mother "(Proverbs 29:15). Then, there are those parents who can misunderstand the biblical definition of the discipline (or maybe they are just abusive people) and use it to justify the abuse and mistreatment of their children.
Discipline is used to correct and guide people on the right path. "It is true that no discipline at present seems to be cause of joy, but of sadness; but afterwards he brings forth the quiet fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised therein "(Hebrews 12:11). The discipline of God is loving, as it should be between father and son. Physical punishment should never be used to cause pain or permanent physical damage, but rather as a quick blow (in the back, where there is more "protective filler"), to teach the child that what he did is wrong and unacceptable. It should never be used without control or to discharge our anger and frustrations.
"And you, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6: 4). Raising a child in the "discipline and admonition of the Lord" includes corrective discipline, setting limits, and yes, loving physical discipline.
