Educated By Third Parties.
Blessings Steemchurch, let's talk about the duty of parents to educate their children and not transfer this responsibility. The responsibility of educating a child is entirely up to the parents, but this is not how the parents of the current generation think, or at least act. With work in progress, housework and social life, the creation of the child ends up being "outsourced". First of all to schools, then to grandmothers, uncles, nannies, employees, neighbors ... Parents spend little time with their children and the result is visible in our society. Criminality, lack of respect, almost zero cultural knowledge, unbalanced food routine, exacerbated vanity, extinct animal speaking higher than reason; In other words, we live the prophecy of Jesus:
"And because iniquity multiplies, the love of many will grow cold", Matthew 24:12.

Christians have to make a difference in this world, and not follow the social pattern that does not build the home. The Christian can not be carried away by society. The obligation to raise children is exclusive to the parents, as we can read in Deuteronomy 6: 7 "and (my words) you will teach them to your children and they will speak of them sitting in your house, walking on the road, and lying down and getting up, you. "
With life running, even Christian families are delegating the education of their children to third parties. This also goes through the total lack of planning. There are many Christian parents who claim not to know why their children have deviated, but they themselves never prioritized the creation of their children. "They push the responsibility" to satan "and they do not admit that they never planned to create their children effectively.
Orphans, even with parents
According to the English psychologist Steve Biddulph, this is the most abandoned generation of all time. He is probably right, just look at how children are "educated" today to see that he is right. Modern education is summarized to dine together, give gifts and watch television, or better, abandon the children in front of the television (or computer and mobile) while they solve other things. The funny thing is that even spending a few minutes, effectively, with their children, modern parents still hope to create exemplary people. It is impossible.
modernism
Influenced by colleagues, Christians or not, many parents end up with the modern idea that it is possible to have a child, even without adequate planning. "If you expect financial stability, you will never have a child," some say. "Ask for help from the mother-in-law in the first months, then you can place the child in a nursery", others testify.
Everywhere we are led to think that there is no time to have children, after all, nowadays, nobody has time. "Everyone works from sunrise to sunset, but everyone has a child", are words they use to convince themselves that it is possible to have a child at all costs. Parents who do not plan, or poorly planned, how to create their family can tell us to "stay calm, after all, it will be all right at the end of the day".
Paul already guided us: "And do not be conformed to this world, but you will be transformed by the renewing of your understanding, so that you may experience what is the good, pleasant, and perfect will of God", Romans 12: 2.
In our family planning. Before our first child is born, we must think about whether it will be possible to raise a child according to Christian standards. Unfortunately, there are many Christians who do not think about it, and believe that having a child is "God's blessing and final point." Of course having a child is really a blessing, as long as we can educate them properly. Otherwise we are relegating a powerful arrow to the world. In your family outline you can point out that when we leave our children's education to grandparents, school, daycare or babysitting, we are opening the hand of preparing a child to make a difference in the world, and then we complain: "no I know who he learned that with, or, he learned how to do those things at school. " The duty to raise children on the road is from the parents and not from the school.
Electronic cradle
We need to emphasize that the stress of everyday life leaves us with feelings to the skin. Arriving home and still having children to raise is the last thing a person wants after a day of discussions, negotiations and fatigue. To flee from another responsibility, parents leave their children in computers, cell phones and television.
Electronic products replace the attention that the father should give and still leaves the child happy, because unlimited entertainment is everything a child wants.
The lack of reprimand and imposition of limits make children distant from submission and, little by little, away from a Christian life, they begin to lose the concept of authority and do not have at home who corrects them from the wrong paths.
You can list a series of activities and technologies that parents push their children to avoid the work of educating and caring for their family. Actually, creating a child is exhausting and requires effort and time, in addition to physical effort. That's why technology has been a powerful tool to get countless Christian children out of the way.
The job of raising children
The outsourcing of parenting is a "phenomenal idea" for the current days. With the lack of time for children, parents leave their children with relatives, friends or schools. Even a good school can never replace the training that a father gives his son. When we assume the responsibility of a child, we assume the duty to "spend", I prefer the term invest, time with them, in their education and character formation.
Just as we need time to develop well any job, even in domestic functions (cooking, cleaning, washing), we need to plan time for our children. If your time is already tight, your function is to plan for the best result of your day. Wake up early, sleep later, watch less TV, spend less time on the Internet. It is necessary to know where we can save time to dedicate ourselves more to our children.

To enrich your family outline, list examples of activities you did with your family that formed a good character in yourself.
We must bear in mind that what is really important for children is the quality of the time that adults spend with them and not the amount of it. It is important to organize to dedicate quality time to the little ones. Time in which they enjoy our company, of affection, learning and development.
Excellent Sister! I just repeat this fragment written by you:
Christians must make a difference in this world and not follow the social pattern that does not build the home. The Christian can not be carried away by society. The obligation to raise children is exclusive to the parents, since we can read in Deuteronomy 6: 7 "and (my words) will teach their children and they will talk about them sitting at home, walking on the road, and lying down and getting up , you".

Thanks for commenting on my post, it seemed to me an important issue. Every day, more homes are destroyed due to the lack of attention of the parents, evading their true responsibilities to assume other
It's a great post, grandparents are important for our children, but the responsibility to educate and care for them is ours.
It's good that there are still parents who understand this
We always talk about that in the family. Thanks for sharing this with us
Yes, it is a subject that we can not lose sight of we will give account to God for our children
