The problems of child abuse, delinquency, and the disintegration of cultural standards and values have swamped society today. A quick glance at these anomalies will reveal that they are mostly the result of poor parenting. The majority of parents neglect this God-given duty to "Train up a kid in the way he should develop" (Proverbs 22:6) by being either indifferent or careless.
