4: TRAIN AND DISCIPLINE THEM:
'plant an acorn in your children you will reap an oak'

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 KJV)

Training your Children is not negotiable, train them to have good manners, train them to be responsible, to do domestic work. A child you fail to train is the destiny you successfully destroy, so get on the field, train your Child the way he should, when he is old he will not depart from it.

It is your duty to provide for your Children especially at their tender age, you need to provide love, care, health care, money, clothing, Shelter etc.

The Bible made it clear that you can't say you are born again if you fail to provide for your Children.

'But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel' (1 Timothy 5:8 KJV)

6: PLAY WITH THEM
It is not a sign of weakness to play with your Children, it is what they want, it is what you have, it doesn't cost anything, just release your mind to be a Child a little and enter into the secret place of your Children, this is one of the best way to demonstrate your love to these little ones. Be a friend of your Children, be playful with them, get on the rug roll on the floor, get on the field, play the football, basketball, table tennis with them, FAMILY THAT PLAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.

'A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother' (Proverbs 18:24 KJV)
