- Make the home the brightest and most attractive place you can.
- Make him responsible for helping with some daily duties at home.
- Never punish him in anger; do so only in love for disobedience.
- Do not ridicule his ideas; talk frankly about matters in which he is interested.
- Encourage him to invite friends to your home and table.
- Impress upon him that service and honesty are more important than making money.
- Live Christ before him so that you can talk Christ to him.
- Let him see your enjoyment and profit from Bible reading and prayer.
- Set an example in faithful church attendance and show interest in the work.
- Be much in prayer for his salvation and spiritual growth.
— P. D. Wilmeth, The Christian Home
