Titus 2: 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8, and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
The best part of parenting is being an example by doing what is good. Research indicates that children learn more from what they observe than what they are told. When children are brought up in a violent and aggressive environment they learn to behave like that.
Another challenge faced by parents these days is that of protecting children from abuse. It would appear that in every corner there is a potential abuser. It is hard to trust caregivers at home; some teachers at school take advantage of learners and assault them. In fact, it is scary to learn and read about the things children are exposed to. Society values are fading away with time.
Prayer: Dear God, I have limited control to protect my children, teach me to put on your full armor and strength to fight my part and leave the rest to you. Thank you for fighting this battle for me, amen.
