Two, you must seek to train your children for the everlasting welfare of their immortal souls. You must give yourself to this work consistently, constantly, and carefully. Your sons and daughters are born with a decided bias toward evil. If you would be wise, you must not leave your child to the guidance of his own will. I do not mean that you should spoil them, but I do mean that you should show them that you love them.
Love is the secret to proper training.
Nothing will com pensate for the absence of love and tenderness. Anger and harshness will frighten a child, but they will not persuade the child that you are right. If your children see you often out of temper, they will soon cease to respect you. Life is not all fun and games. Children need to be taught responsibility.
