Faith-based parenting In our turbulent culture may be the single most important choice parents can make to help their children and adolescents learn the core skills of holiness, virtue, conscience, and character development.
Parents often feel they do not possess the skills necessary to teach holiness, virtue, conscience, and character to their children and adolescents. This may be partially due to not learning these concepts themselves in their own childhood and adolescence, or to mistakes they made during that time of life. As Lumen Gentium (11) explains, these core concepts are the responsibility of parents to convey to their children and adolescents. The world we are living in today is so pervasive and insidious that it sneaks up on our children and adolescents with almost no one noticing, until it's too late. Don't let that be the case with your children and adolescents. Take the active step today to teach the core concepts of conscience, virtue, holiness, and character to your children.
YOU are the primary educator of holiness, virtue, conscience, and character for your children and you will do this most effectively through the example you set. Your teaching will be important, and the way you live and provide a good example of the concepts you teach, will offer the lasting lessons we want our children and adolescents to carry with them throughout their lives.
YOU are your child's and adolescents' most important moral teacher. Please do not leave this critical responsibility to chance, or worse, to a culture that is trying to do all it can to influence your child or adolescent to follow its ways rather than your ways. Spend time with your child or adolescent and guide them in the way they are to go.
