What is an important lesson to teach our children?

Sam Waldron explains in this video that when children are raised with the mentality that the world resolves around them, they become unhappy, selfish, and self-seeking. It is necessary for parents to teach their children early on that the world doesn't revolve around them.

Teaching our children to serve others instead of solely focusing on one's own needs and desires is crucial for happy family life. Otherwise, there will be constant conflict.

Philippians 2:3-5 (NKJV) - "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

We live in a child oriented culture and that's not bad in every sense but it is bad when children are allowed to rule the home and they're raised with a mentality and allowed to think that the world really revolves around them. There is just nothing more crucial for any person and any child than to learn early on that the world does not revolve around them. There is a God in heaven and the world revolves around Him, not them. Now, that immediately brings you to the fact of sin, foolishness, and foolishness being bound up in the heart of a child, and the necessity of discipline in light of that with the rod and reproof will drive it far from him. So, when I think of child rearing, I think of the necessity of breaking that child's will and teaching them that the world does not revolve around them, but about someone else.

And this lesson is of course crucial for any kind of happy family life because unless you have wills that have been broken and are insufficient, authority of God, authority of parents, you have constant conflict between constant stubborn wills And this is simply a very unhappy way to live. Of course, a way to live that is very dishonoring to God as well. You
