There is no doubt that children should be taught in the ways of the Lord. All christian parents know that, but unfortunately a small percentage would spend that time to pray with their children and teach them the Bible. They do not realize that slowly but surely their children are drawing away from the Lord and losing interest in the things of God. Parents are losing control over their children at a very young age and it is alarming to see children resisting their parents, and having very little respect for them. Children will obey the Lord with the same attitude and with no greater degree that they obey their parents. Obedience has to be ordered to and demanded from the children with discipline and perseverance if parents want to assure the future of their children spiritually. Pride and rebellion have to give way to obedience.
