We all have learning styles and respond better to certain types of training. <br /><br />I think there is truth in training children according to their learning styles, but this passage doesn't really support that meaning, nor does raising a child according to their learning style guarantee that child will continue in the right path morally. What works for math doesn't necessarily work for morality. Retaining facts is different than retaining values.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing that up. It is a theory often mentioned in conjunction with this passage in books and lectures by a wide variety of authors/speakers.Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-28733821902987854042018-03-08T10:39:49.863-05:002018-03-08T10:39:49.863-05:00I read from a reputable source that 'train up ...I read from a reputable source that 'train up a child in the way that he should go,' means to teach him in a way that works with his personality, nature, and aptitudes. If you're taught that way, you don't forget it. This goes for anything from math to morality.

While I, as a Christian parent, would prefer to put the quarter in the vending machine of parenting and receive my product, I could do that in my own strength, intellect, and power, and I would get the glory. When I throw myself on God's mercy, enabling, and grace every day, it is then that he is most free to work in and through me. May he grant us, in his mercy, children who follow hard after him. <br /><br />Keep speaking the truth, friend!Lori Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675180460653949981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-63230001328622954782013-05-22T12:54:36.124-04:002013-05-22T12:54:36.124-04:00You have so many nuggets of wisdom in this post, G...You have so many nuggets of wisdom in this post, Gail. I really had never considered this verse wasn't a promise. I'm going to be mulling your words here over and over today. I love it when I learn new thoughts and ways of looking at something. I certainly agree with your last statement, and I hope it brings comfort and freedom to those who've been chained to the shame of their adult children's choices. Thanks for linking this up at Wedded Wed, my friend. Love having you there each week!

If we raise our children in the Lord and parent according to His wisdom, I think our odds are pretty good, and yet there really is no guarantee. My comfort is that I know God loves my children more than I could image. Whatever failing I have as a parent, God's love is powerful enough to fill the void.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616836371628639681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-74596342015290767042013-05-21T07:43:06.234-04:002013-05-21T07:43:06.234-04:00This is so true!

I struggle with worry that my son won't live for the Lord no matter how much I train him, but I think the key is that we rely on the Lord and trust Him for the outcome...bathing all in much prayer.

These are very wise words. There are no secret formulas to parenting success. It is just as you say! As parents we do our best to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, pray a lot, and hope. It has been by God's Grace when our children do not depart.
