is the in things now. Also, we should know that they are at the

formation stage and mostly silent observers from what they hear and

see. So it is very necessary to be mindful of what you do around them
and expose them to because it could be very hazardous to their

growth due to their total trust in you. For instance, parents that

always quarrel/fight or wife beater, maltreat people or their

helper/maid, divorce, broken homes, are too busy to give attention to

their children. A family that lack lovely relationship or affection for
one another mostly, lack love, care and trust. It is only Christ that

changes such children that witness such life.

As Solomon says the fear of God is the beginning means it is the

starting point, the first and major part of the earliest knowledge a

child should possess the source of wisdom or knowledge. And
knowledge they say is power, it’s what rules the world, is control. If a

child is not rightly informed he/she will be deformed. Our Society is

in bad shape because of a lack of knowledge which is a result of
absence of the fear of God, with so many intellectually educated

men yet deformed because the beginning of wisdom is to fear God,

not school or Money which is secondary aspect of life. The primary

thing is God which so many homes have lost. The beginning or the
starting point and most important aspect of a child's upbringing is

fear of God. Give your child Christ and every other thing will be

perfected, not Religion but CHRIST.
