Deuteronomy 6:6-7

These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be (written) on your heart and mind. You shall teach them diligently to your children (impressing God’s precepts on their minds and penetrating their hearts with His truths) and shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk in the road and when you lie down and when you get up.  

If God thinks it is vital that we train our children in what is right and wrong, shouldn’t we.  The world has been trying to convince us that parents are not as vital.  Parents are the first line of defense and are meant to train a child in the way they should go.  Parents take heart and keep following the commandments of God!
