It is a commitment of the parents before God, to teach in everything, to our children, they will reflect in their behavior, later the good and the bad that we have taught. When we know Christ we know that we have to learn and therefore we must teach, we realize that not everything is as it should be, because the behaviors of our children are not what we want and we can not do anything, we find ourselves unable To change the circumstances and behavior of our children, the Bible teaches us that: Foolishness is bound in the boy's heart; But the rod of correction will drive it away from him. (Proverbs 22:15)
Likewise we understand that this rod is the same word of God, that it takes us to an intimacy with him to receive instructions on how to correct, this is what we know as prayer, through it we can communicate with the Father, tell him what it afflicts us, it worries us and what makes us happy. The Lord knows everything but wants to hear it from our mouth; I love Jehovah, for he has heard my voice and my supplications; because he has inclined his ear to me; therefore I will invoke all my days. (Psalm 116: 1-2)
In this way we have to teach our children, so that all foolishness, rebellion and temptation will be removed and we will not suffer the bitter moments of a learning through pain. If our children are taught in prayer, every time they are faced with any circumstance, they will know that the best help is Jesus and after him, it is you and not anyone who offers the false idea of help, recognize Jesus as the only and supreme teacher, learn from him teach like him, prayer is something simple, that leads you and your children to be grateful, even in the worst moments, but sure that the help of heaven will come and all the bad will disappear. So the learning process will not only be for our children, but for the whole family. Let us begin now to open our mouth and cry out to the Father, the moment is today.
Let us teach our children to be in communion with the Father, letting them know that there is a God who loves them and that if they seek Him they will find Him, Jesus tells us: And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive it. (Matthew 21:22)
God bless you greatly
