Answer 1

A child's moral values begin to be formulated soon after birth and continue to foster and are greatly influenced by the moral values of his/her parents. When that child begins to reach his/her age of being able to reason, Christian parents should start to introduce the story of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ to their child at a level that can be understood by the child. Furthermore, the parents must practice what they preach. In other words, the parents must amplify their teachings of Christianity by leading a Christian life. While going to Church is one important aspect of being a Christian; Christianity is also a way of life as is the case with other religions. The parents must continue to guide their child every step of the way so as to avoid the possibility of their child deviating from the moral values that were taught to their child. In some respects, it's analogous to monitoring a tree after it has been planted. If the tree starts to grow to one side or the other, the tree must be straightened by inserting one or more wooden rods into the ground and attaching the tree to the wooden rod(s). At some point, the tree will be able to grow properly on its own without further interventions. Leading a Christian life does not mean that one cannot have fun or not do the same things that non Christians do. It is inevitable that at some point in the child's life, he/she will make contact with people who are non Christians as well as people who have very different values. Loving Christian parents should explain these facts of life to their child in advance. They must teach their child to always respect the rights and values of other people without compromising his/her own values. Christian parents should also teach their child that he/she must never discriminate anyone because of their faith (or lack of); their skin color; their sexual preference; their nationality; their financial status and so on. If a building has a weak foundation, it may fall at some point; conversely, if a building has a strong foundation, it will probably remain standing. If a Christian child has a good set of moral and Christian values, he/she will most likely continue to live a Christian life which also advocates going to Church which is the symbolic house of Jesus Christ on earth.
