CHILD Training requires intentional efforts. Parenting is much more than giving birth to children, but bringing them up in the ways of the Lord to ensure they grow up sane and sound to become better citizens.

Child Training follows the 5 M principles:

MODEL: Parents become models and examples to their children.

MENTOR: The children decide to learn from their parents, or parents intentionally become mentors to their children.

MOTIVATE: They teach them how to make decisions and they encourage them to do the right things without forcing it on them. They employ the Authoritative parenting style.

MONITOR: The stand by to watch them and are ready to correct them. Parents must learn to rescue their children when they go astray.

MULTIPLY: Encourage them to become models to their younger ones, friends and society.

We should avoid the PERMISSIVE, AUTHORITARIAN, UNINVOLVED parenting styles.

Stable marriages help children to grow strong. There is a serious need for us to avoid raising children under dysfunctional homes. Make your marriage to work so that your children will enjoy good parenting……
