Fathers and mothers are natural teachers and trainers of their children, whether they are aware of this or not. Our children constantly learn from us, for good or for bad and at all times, for we are their role models in everyday life.
I believe that academia and secular education is far less important in the education of character, morals, and godly lifestyle. Fathers and mothers should be instilling these virtues into the lives of their children every day.
No one should ever underestimate the supreme value of Christian parents as godly role models. Our children mirror us for good or for bad. When people around you meet your children, whether neighbors, friends, or at church, they indirectly meet you! This is a sobering thought. If you are a parent, you automatically become a role model, whether you like it or not.
Today's generation is suffering for the want of godly role models. Parental role modeling is infinitely more important than academia and secular education. These are secondary to the education of role modeling by godly parenting.
Be encouraged.
