The most influential teachers, whether they recognize it or not, are parents.... For better or worse, the home wields more crucial influence upon the youth than does school or college. The same is true of parents. No kindergarten teacher, grade school teacher, high school teacher, or college professor, however effective, can surpass the influence of a devoted Christian father or mother. Contrari-wise, one shudders at the influence for evil that may be exercised by unworthy parents.

It is in the home that the education of the child is to begin. Here is his first school. Here, with his parents as instructors, he is to learn the lessons that are to guide him throughout life--lessons of respect, obedience, reverence, self-control. The educational influences of the home are a decided power for good or for evil. They are in many respects silent and gradual, but if exerted on the right side, they become a far-reaching power for truth and righteousness. If the child is not instructed aright here, Satan will educate him through agencies of his choosing. How important, then, is the school in the home!
E.G. White (CT 107)

It is by the youth and children of today that the future of society is to be determined, and what these youth and children shall be depends upon the home.
E. G. White (Ministry of Healing 351) To the lack of right home training may be traced the larger share of the disease and misery and crime that curse humanity. If the home life were pure and true, if the children who went forth from its care were prepared to meet life's responsibilities and dangers, what a change would be seen in the world!

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle
|
|
Our lives are not determined by what happen to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. Eleanor Roosevelt
