How the society is now one has to be extremely careful with the way we bring up our children and then no body can raise our children better not even their teachers who spend most time with them
In this jet age they ( children) learn very fast from as early as zero years..
Parents needs to be alert with the activities of their children until they get to adulthood
But in all prayer is the strongest weapon

I think raising children is one of the most difficult assignments on earth. Most characters exhibited from children this days are being learnt from outside, most times schools and social gathering.
I do no think a parent will ask his child to dip his hands into fire, every parents would want his child to be responsible and well doing but most children decides to be irresponsible and use less to their society.
What is corrupting the children this days is the use of internet, even a 7yrs old child owns a smart phone and his free to access the internet not for knowledge acquiring but to enjoy social lives.
The scripture will say, train up a child in a way he should grow and when he is old he won't depart from it. As you rightly said prayer is the strongest weapon

I would have totally agreed with you but your first statement where you said the character of children are beign learnt from outside that's a lie, before a kid knows anything he first learnt from his parents, I've seen kids just so young as 2 years exhibit character of beign insultive and arrogant and when I look at it one of his parents has such a character and the child only learnt from them, if a child came from a good home and learns bad character outside it is easy to solve such problem with discipline but not when he is learning from you as a parent that one can be very hard to deal with.

I understand your point, but do you think a child will get punished if his bad habit is being emulated from his parent, instead they should be proud of their child becoming like them. Children are easily satisfied with what they hear and see, both at home, around the neighborhood, school and where ever they find themselves.
Another reason why I said so, children spends much time not around their parents but in school where they get mixed up, do the calculation your self you will understand most of the habits children gets involved into are not learnt from home but outside.
