How to Train Up a Child in a Godly Way: 10 Keys for Christian Parents

9. Monitor Friends

10. Cultivate Gratitude

A sense of entitlement is the opposite of the heart of Jesus. Parents whose kids grow up to follow Him help their kids cultivate an attitude of gratitude. In their home, Thanksgiving isn’t just a day of the year to eat turkey and watch football. It’s a way of life.
