Too many people too much of the time ignore these words, because they know not what they mean. Those words are important understandings for bringing up children.

Children left to themselves come to naught. See Proverb 29:15
The child is like the clay, and the parents are responsible for the molding of that clay.

A child left to the chaos of the world, digital-think, and tv will be chaotic and his thoughts will not be connected for he will not have learned foundation truth.

Parents:
Show your child the connectivity of things.

The molding starts before they're conceived. How you say, by building a healthy womb, full of all good nutrients. And with prayer.

And by mom and dad's attitude toward God and themselves and their family, their commitment for the days and years to come, to obey God by faith. The just shall live by faith.

God can work miracles for those who started late. Fear not, He is with you to help. Just ask. Sometimes we have not because we ask not. See James 4

From the womb, let there be good things, good nuttier, food, music, attitude, happiness and peace and contentment. I mean Mozart music, not acid rock or heavy-metal. Music with rhythm and pattern building.

From birth, hold the child. Touch and caress.

Early on, roll the ball in front of the child. Show it rolling and then bouncing off a wall. Roll it to the child. And roll it to the wall so it bounces from the wall to the child. The baby sees change of direction.

Physical coordination and eye focus are helped by simple things like a rolling ball. Can hardly do too much of this simple toy.

Dad's, don't wait till your son can catch the ball. Roll it to him, and then laugh and go get it if you have to. For a long time, you are the only one who can lead or do the game. You have to show by example, over and over again.

Same thing goes for any other simple thing you can find to do.

Sing the song. Simple song. Simple words, simple melody. Let the baby see you sing.

Hold the baby. Caress the baby. Snuggle the baby.

Burp the baby. Here's a little known way to get that gas out:
Hold the baby up over your shoulder.
Gently let the weight come to rest on your shoulder at his lower belly.
While holding securely, let the weight of the baby slide down off your shoulder, always holding securely.
This gently drives the gas up and out.
It is a very gentle way to burp your babe.
A full blooded American Choctaw Indian, Dr. Roy T. Bates showed that. Works wonders when other ways fail to get the job done. Much easier on baby than the beating him on the back some do. And it works much better.
Do not even think about adding any extra pressure, just let the body weight of the baby do the job on the round part of your shoulder.
With both hands raise the baby to your right shoulder , for right handed people. Left him high enough to position the lower belly high on your shoulder, then gently let his weight slide, as you continue to hold with both hands, and then as his head comes to rest on or just over your shoulder, be still and patient giving him time to burp.

It is best at this time to have a towel over your shoulder to catch the burp. :) very effective, may be repeated two or three times if appropriate.

Apply this to many good opportunities as they grow from age through five.
Very important in how they learn to think.

Don't use the tv as your baby-sitter. TV is your worst enemy. Babies need personal interaction. Else they learn impersonal, uncaring ways.

Digital-think = disconnected, = new age way, isolated fractals, randomly arranged. confusion

Analog = connected, streaming from one foundation starting place.
Remember the sequence, seed, root, trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, fruit and then seed again from the fruit, multiplying the pattern. That is the way.
It is not used or taught as it should be in our current public state dominated schools.
Instead, kids are taught to look for the fruit, and that just about anything can produce the fruit, if they want it hard enough and "feel good about it."

Early on, show your child responsibility for choices made. With mercy and tender love, not legalistically. See Mercy. also see " Law and Grace
