The crucial part of parenting involves the aspect of careful study.
Children are a gift from God that assumes deliberate time involvement.
The wisdom of Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go ..." speaks of a specific direction ( דֶּרֶךְ ) that has been divinely crafted into every child.
