Dear Son,
In Schools Children are forced to socialize with each others at an early. Other children may not be the type you want your child to socialize with. Many parents raise their children to be good upstanding citizen; but there are others parents that are too busy working to teach their child good values, or don't care about the child, or abusive. Here are a few tips to help you to develop strong moral, kind and respectful children.
First, we must start teaching our children before they are born. Tell the child how he/she should act, what kind of people he/she should hang around and quote the Word of God to the unborn child. Tell the child to honor thy mother and father, to obey their parents, to depart from evil. In this way, you are shaping their lives before they are born.
Secondly, After the baby is born, continue to train the child in the World of God. In doing so, the child's Spirit will be filled with the Word. The spirit will act as a moral compass. It will be harder for them to follow the world's way of thinking because their Spirit is full with the right way of thinking. Even if the child fall into doing the wrong things, their Spirit will bring them back because the child will not feel right doing something that is wrong.
Lastly, Make it a point to know you children's friends and their family. You can not allow your children to hang around other kids that drink, do drugs, steal and other ungodly things that are unbecoming of a good moral Citizen. This type of behavior can rub off on them. They may know that drinking is wrong but do it anyway just to fit in.
It is OK to socialize with others; however you want your children and your family to socialize with people that think like you and your family. Children may not do what is right all the time but at least they have a fighting chance when lessons are taught before they are born, their spirit is filled with the Word of God, and friends are known to you.
