Prayer will not solve everything, in raising a good child, a parent need to be committed to the task especially when the child is still very young because that is a very delicate stage and age to learn the good and bad, and because the bad can easily be learnt, every parent need to be careful and watchful of the  kind of friends their children keep and also be watchful of the kind of movies and television program that they watch. As a parent, you need to draw your child close, so that they will be able to talk to you when they are confused, so that they will not make bad decisions in life.
