Godly training forewarns a child of danger or faults in human nature. The Scriptures do not contain many examples of exemplary child rearing.

The mother provides a gentle, cherishing quality to child rearing compatible with the strength provided by her husband.

Neither permissiveness nor harshness are endorsed by God; sound-mindedness in child-rearing requires control and measured justice while avoiding extremes.

Satan is cultivating vessels of destruction by turning God's principles of child-rearing upside-down, encouraging permissiveness and destroying the family.
