Character in sons and daughters.
Children bring honor to their family by their obedience in the community.
The family is a God created institution. In the family, children learn principles and personality skill by which they live in the society. It is also in the family that children develop their characters. It is important, therefore, that father and mother take special care in teaching their children relationship and behavior skills that are based on sound moral and ethnical principles.
Being an orphan may at first present some challenges as to how one can be the best father or he or she can be . However by learning the principles of God that relate to being a good parent,anyone can successfully apply these principles for building a good family.
A. Honour your parents.
It is one of the commandments God gave with gifts . Children must respect their parent for who they are . Rebellious children brings shame upon the name of the family. Those who don't honour their parent wouldn't be well on earth.
B. Be attentive and submissive.
Young people who are obedient to their parents manifest a spirit of submission. One cannot be faithful to God and the same time be disobedient to his or parents.
C. Develop faith in God .
All that we know about the early childhood of Jesus is mentioned by Luke when he recorded an incident that happened in Jesus live when he was about twelve years old.
Young people should desire to be among those who seek yo serve God in the community.
D. Have a humble spirit.
Humility is recognizing that one never has all the answers for every situation in life . It is developing one's life around others and God , rather than one's self. Great men realize their weakness, and then compensate for their weakness by relying on the counsel of others.
The beauty of humility is in the fact that others are drawn to humble people . We seek to be in the presence of the humble. Humble parents produce an environment in home where the minds of children are opened for instructions.
When one grows into adulthood, he or she should not lose the spirit of humility. The reason for this is that one who is proud and arrogant will never accept the instructions of others simply because he or she has never learned how to submit to the will of others.
When still in the and under the direction of their parents. When they come to the age of making their own decisions, they should carefully follow the counsel of their parents . Following the counsel of our parents shows that we seek to do right. It shows that we continually respect our parents.
