Ten Rules for “Bringing Up” a Child

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