The child who has lost faith in his parents has difficulty believing in anything. Teach your child there is dignity in hard work, whether it is performed with calloused hands that dig ditches or skilled fingers that manipulate surgical instruments. Let him know a useful life is a blessed one and a life of ease and pleasure-seeking is empty and meaningless. Do not try to protect your child against every small blow and disappointment. Adversity strengthens character and makes us compassionate.
Trouble is the great equalizer.
Let him learn it. Teach your child to love God and to love his fellow man. Don't SEND your child to a place of worship - TAKE him there. Children learn from example. Telling him something is not teaching him.
