This verse is only one of many that is the heartbeat of my work as I am rooted in faith. I am building my own children to have a strong relationship with God like I have that is 24/7. I do not believe in the one hour "saved" on Sundays. I believe strongly in having a firm foundational relationship with my Lord and Savior and when our children see this in us as parents like the verse states is true when they get older they will not depart from it.

This same verse also tells us how we parent as to why children do repeat the same behaviors as their parents...a parent who bullies a child does the same to those around them. The parent who is not confident cannot have a confident child. The parent who complains about others and does nothing to change themselves is exactly how their child turns out.

If you want to parent correctly it must be done intentionally just like anything in life worth having you must be intentional and always work towards improving, it. The power of life and death is in the tongue as you can lead yourself and your family to greatness or to death in fact the biggest mistake you can make is not changing your behaviors, habits, communication skills, etc sooner.
