Okay while I was reading this I realized that we are focused more on a child turning bad what about a child turning from bad to good? There are some cases where some parents miss the mark completely and some children as they grew older got to see the light and decided to change. Now as a good parent, you should be able to see the light in what your child is saying but if you don’t then that is also a problem.
I’m someone that always vision how I plan to bring up my kids and one of the first step is hoping God gives me the best man as a partner that would be ready to join me to bring up our kids not in our own knowledge but that of God’s knowledge because as humans our knowledge is limited. Children are not always wrong but it’s hard for some parents to accept that they made a mistake.
In the end, I hope God help us be good parents and if ever there be changes we should be able to correct our children in love and humility.
