"Teach them to trust God early..."
Proverbs 3:5-7 (The Message)
5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.

One of the most important things we must instill in our children at a very early age is that they need to trust God. They must see us trusting and acting on that trust in faith. We must share our testimony of how God, time and time again has lead us in the way we needed to go, not the way we may have wanted to go. Explain to them how you listen to God's voice, how the Holy Spirit speaks to you, how we must take time to listen. Teach them to trust, listen and obey the voice of God in all they do even as children. Explain to them that God really does care about them and wants them to be happy. As they grow up, it will be second nature to them.
