A father is to teach, educate and train his children in the admonition of the Lord. The word admonition comes from the Greek word nouthesia, meaning calling attention to by mild rebuke or warning. Fathers, therefore, aren't to jump down their children's throat when they make a mistake, but are to rebuke and warn the child. It is a Father's responsibility to educate their children in the way of life God would have us all lead, calling their attention to the mistakes they make and rebuking them when necessary. A child who is brought up in the truth of God will have a sound foundation that will last him throughout life.
Children too have their part in family maintenance.
We know that the Bible instructs us to honor our fathers and mothers. Children who respect their parents will try and live their lives in a manner that reflects honor on the family name. Generally speaking, a child who knows he is loved and valued, will do his best to live up to his parent's expectations. Then, when those parents reach an age where they need assistance, the children will be happy to reach out, in love, and supply whatever their aging parent needs. Jesus is a gentle provider.
