The television, iPod, and Internet have trespassed upon the innocence of America’s children, while preoccupied mothers and dispassionate fathers stare aghast wondering what went wrong. They don’t stop to think of their own contributions to the persuasions influencing their children. After all, where do kids as young as elementary age get money to rent rock videos and the latest rap DVDs?

To injure, ignore, disrespect, and violate the innocence of a child are among the greatest evils known to man.

Truth is easier for a child to handle than evasiveness.

Before the seventeenth century, a child passed directly into the adult world between the ages of five and seven . . . then came the industrial revolution . . .so the child-centered home was born.

By the 1960s the United States had a new ruling class—the teenager!

Children must be taught obedience just as much as they need to be taught to read and write.

Someday your children will leave; you can’t hold on to them or control them forever, nor should you.

Often the only thing a child can remember about an adult in later years, when he or she is grown, is whether or not that person was kind to him or her.

Grumbling and gratitude are, for the child of God, in conflict. Be grateful and you won't grumble. Grumble and you won't be grateful.
