In this jet age they ( children) learn very fast from as early as zero years..
Parents needs to be alert with the activities of their children until they get to adulthood
But in all prayer is the strongest weapon
Some parents see their children as burdens. They prefer to send them to schools at a tender age so that thay can have the time to engage in other activities. But they fail to know that the most important task of a parent is to properly raise children. Even during holidays, children are still sent out for what they call in my country "Summer Lessons" just to ensure that they don't stay at home. It is understandable when parents have to engage in these actions because of work but when it is done because of pleasure or the inability to take responsibility, then it is very wrong.
Children of this age learn more from ICT, mostly social media. Parents should always monitor children's activities online to ensure that they are not been exposed to drugs, pornography, religious extremism, terrorism, underage gambling, and scams. It is also important for parents to know who the friends of their children are. They should ensure that they are hanging out with the right company.
Don't also fail to correct and sometimes discipline the child when he is wrong. And also encourage and reward him when he does the right thing. Spend time with your children and always discuss how they are doing in school and other places. Be friendly so that they can always tell you how the feel about certain situations. Prayers are more potent when you play your role as a parent.
