The Parent/Child Relationship

It is a feature of the world in which we live today that the home and the family have come under attack from many different angles.

The Book of Proverbs has a lot to say about the relationship between the parent and the child.

This is a very important subject, and is highly recommended to parent and child alike.

The Rev Elliott looks at the parent/child relationship under the following main headings:

1. The Specialty Of It
2. The Responsibility Of It
3. The Gravity Of It
4. The Joy Of It

'My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.'
(Proverbs 1: 8,9)

'My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.'
(Proverbs 6: 20-22)
