Recently, we have been seeing and reading a lot of negative things on social media whereby some teenagers who are getting involved in Rituals and this could have been caused by parents neglecting their duties/responsibilities. Personally, everything is not about money and as a parent(s) we have a big role to play in the life of our children while they’re growing up. (It is very important)

There’s a bible passage that says::::::::::

Train up a child in the way he should go and when he’s old he will not depart from it (Proverb 22:6)

Let me use myself as an example

I’m a father of Twins (A boy & a girl 9years of age) I play with my kids like we are age mates, play games (PS3) with my son. My neighbor’s children always sees us & told my kids their own parents don’t use to play with them like I use to but to always shout on them. I always tell them I love them & also to respect there elders. Despite the Playing & love I show them, I discipline them very well whenever they misbehave, Likewise my wife too checks what they watch on TV, the cartoons & TV programs they watch and always gives them listening ears etc…….

Please as parents, be it single parent let us try as much as possible to create time for our children no matter how busy we can be. Children needs LOVE & ATTENTION by doing this, it will help them grow on their own anywhere they find theirselves. May God keep our children & provide for the ones looking up to God for the fruits of the womb.

Before you quote from the bible, make certain you thoroughly understand the meaning of what you quote.

The Way as mentioned in that verse refers to the Old Covenant Law of Moses, God's Law and agreement made by Him with those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins... Gentiles were excluded from following that way by God Himself - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20.

That verse in the book of psalms instead refers to God's mandate, given to the children of Israel, commanding they teach their children to abide by the Law of the Land, the 613 statutes and commandments of His Old Covenant Law of Moses, the national constitution and Law of the land of Israel given by God to the Nation of Israel - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20

Parents, Grandparents, Neighbors etc., were tasked with teaching God's Law and only God's Law to the children and everyone else around them, this in the Old testament. - Leviticus 10 vs 11 & Deuteronomy 4 vs 9 - 45 & Deuteronomy 5 vs 51 & Deuteronomy 6 vs 1 - 24 & Deuteronomy 11 vs 19...

That statement in Psalms in no way supports your indoctrination of your children in anyway of form..
