Teach your children well

Whenever I read this passage, this song pops into my head:

I'm also reminded that this is something that needs to take place not only in the home, but in church. In our culture today most of our children don't grow up in a "village" to raise them. They remain fairly confined in a single-family home.  Church is one place they can experience this "village." 
  • If you see a parent struggling to keep a child in line, don't just think back to when children behaved better in church; offer to help!
  • If you are a parent whose children are grown, share your wisdom and experience!
  • If you never had kids of your own, be a parent for an hour at church.
  • Volunteer to teach Sunday School or work with our youth.
Children's and Youth ministry is the responsibility of all of us. Let's teach our children well, and let them teach us well too! 

How else can we do this?
