We are living in a period of almost perfect means, but with confusedends. The lack of planned and proper goals of life are soobvious that proof need not be offered. Live, for many, has becomea "rat race" without knowing just where the finish line is to be found.Rushing, rushing, but going nowhere! The home has not escapedthis rush of uncertainty and instability.Many parents do not understand nor do they appear to be tooconcerned about their children. Love, understanding, and respectare rare ingredients in just too many homes. This is, of course, theopposite of what God would have it be. Parents need to know thatchildren are gifts of God (Gen. 33:5; 48:9). God has charged parentswith the responsibility of molding these gifts into a certain typeof personality, suitable to Him (Eph. 6:4; Col.3:21).This book is planned in an effort to assist parents to that end.UNDERSTANDING is the main thesis of this work.
