A society is made up of families, which is why the family is considered to be the heart of the nation. The future rise or decline of the country is determined by the moral character of the new generations. If morality, self-control and temperance are instilled in young people from childhood, they will have a positive impact on society.
The habits and principles that are formed today among young people reflect the state of society in the future. The influence of a poorly organized family is spreading everywhere and has a detrimental effect on all of society. It spreads in floods of evil, hitting families, society, and the government.
As parents, we must know that from early childhood, a person needs a reliable barrier that protects him from the evil and mistakes of this world. Each family must have its own rules, and parents, in order to communicate with each other, must give children a living example of how they want to see them.
For this reason, when communicating we must constantly care for the purity of speech and be polite. Teach children and young people self-respect, sincerity before God, teach them to be faithful to the principles that will guide their lives and become incarnated in communication with others.
Children who pay attention to these teachings will be prepared to be responsible for their actions, and with good examples and instructions they will be able to constantly help others to do justice. They will properly appreciate their natural talents and find the best use for physical, mental, and moral forces.
Without a doubt, the relationship of the parents largely determines the atmosphere of the family, and if there is disagreement between the father and the mother, the children become infected with this spirit. Therefore, try to create an atmosphere of poignant mutual concern in your home. A house may be modest, but it should always be a place where words of encouragement and good deeds are spoken, where courtesy and love are constantly present.
Now that I mention love, love is the most important thing. Do housework with wisdom and love. Children will easily obey the rules of love. Praise them whenever possible. Make your life as happy as you can. Keep the earth of the heart soft, showing love and affection, thus preparing it for the seeds of truth.
Remember that God sends to earth not only clouds and rain, but also a beautiful and soft sun. Don't forget that children need not only censorship and correction, but also encouragement and praise, and kind words.
We have to do everything possible to make the house a family home in every sense of the word. The family must become a piece of heaven on earth, a place where we can express our feelings without fear that they will be repressed by rudeness. Our happiness depends on how much we show love and sympathy for each other.
