When I think about children, I think about how they are like sponges. Their joy and abundance of love they have. Not only are they curious about the world around them, but really just taking in every bit of information that comes their way.
We as parents are the gatekeepers of what we allow our children to absorb.
If we teach them the ways of the Most High, they will grow towards righteousness. But, If we allow others that are not in alignment with Yah, the media, and the world to teach them; It will lead them to be corrupt.
1. Teach Prayer
It’s never too early to teach them how to pray. I started praying with my daughter as a toddler. She learned how to lift her hands up to the Most High as a babe. Try prayer and talking to your child about Yah. They are absorbing all that you are saying to them. Don’t be surprised if they start praising Yah out of the blue
2. Daily Talks
Talking with your child first thing in the morning throughout the day helps them stay in line. You can talk to them about expectations, the commandments, how to behave, and tasks for the day. Children need constant repetition on what to do so that they can be trained in that way.
3. Discipline
4. Reading and teaching the word
How will they know about Yah if you don’t teach them? I’m not only talking about shoving it down their throat all the time but actual embodiment. I mean, them seeing you embody how it is to serve the Most High. Children not only learn by mouth but really by example. Their first teachers are the parents. As the saying goes,” The child is a reflection of a parent”. You can definitely look at your child as a thermometer of how you are acting.
5.Spending time together
They are not going to remember what you give but the time spent together. Make time with your children. Bond with them. They will remember and cherish these moments when they grow older. A lot of childhood trauma comes from how parents dealt with their children. Be a positive and active influence in their life to remember.
