Competence is key to character. Children need training to develop their God-given gifts and talents. They need to develop their skill not only in specialty areas such as art, sports, or science, but also in everyday matters, such as decision making, judgment, and work ethics. Morality is an internal sense of right and wrong. The development of a conscience is a process.
Worship is essential to being a person of character.
Created in the image of God, children need to learn that God loves them and is in charge of life. They also need to learn to seek God on their own, apart from their parents. These character aspects are attributes of God s own character. The difference is that while God has always had these character traits, your child is in the process of developing them. So your first, last, and best goal is to be a good agent of developing mature character within your child s life and soul.
