When a good word in season is taken as an offense, it is because the counsel of the heart is dark..

The stages of children going astray from what parents expect. are:-

1).  DECEPTION

2).  DISOBEDIENCE

3).  ANGER

4).  FOUL LANGUAGE

 5).  LYING.

 LYING IS THE VERBAL RESULT OF THE ABOVE.

Parents must use corrective measures that will work at this point to save their children.

By the time you catch them lying, they have gone too far down the stream heading for the gulf. (This is the wrong pathway).

The police will not be kind to your children as will want them to be, as seen on videos in some classrooms.

Parents take control of your children and make decisions as to where you live, who they are around, where they are educated and the time you spend with them training and correcting..

Apart from loving your children, most of your time will be spent in training them.  TAKE HEED.
