Hello RT, welcome to the forum. There is much written and discussed on this passage. I thought I would copy and paste something from Matthew Henry as I think this basically sums it up. Prov 22:6 A good reason for it, taken from the great advantage of this care and pains with children: When they grow up, when they grow old, it is to be hoped, they will not depart from it. Good impressions made upon them then will abide upon them all their days. Ordinarily the vessel retains the savour with which it was first seasoned. Many indeed have departed from the good way in which they were trained up; Solomon himself did so. But early training may be a means of their recovering themselves, as it is supposed Solomon did. At least the parents will have the comfort of having done their duty and used the means. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: New Modern Edition, Electronic Database.

Thank you, Jeff! I appreciate the information. I've been doing a study on this verse, and a series on the subject of raising children (both biological and spiritual), and your response is very helpful as I continue my study. God bless, Ray | ||||||
