The Growing Life Of A Child

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, Sculptured in palace style; - Psalm 144: 12

The development of the children lies on the parents who brought them into the world. As parents, you have to know that the world your children are in is full of challenges. At every stage in life, children encounter series of problems which in most cases are the causes for sexual abuse and all manners of misconducts in the society. Children are exuberant and always want to achieve their goals, but where their needs are not met, they turned to be violent.

Parents are not to give up at any level of child discipline rather; we are to intensify efforts on them until Christ is formed in them. However, through positive measure of correction, children are delivered from being negatively influenced and thereby becoming godly as they are exposed to the thorough teaching of God’s word.
In the last days, the only true weapon that will do a major constructive work in the life of these young ones is God’s word. Any other means will produce a feeble and rebellious nation. Evil knowledge opens children to evil (Gen. 3:4-5).

Children live by what they know and that is the reason parents have to play their roles effectively and see that their children behave Godly. From generation to generation the level of wickedness is becoming outrageous. No human law can stop it but you, by disallowing your youth (children) from going the wrong way. Psalm 1:1-6.
