The conversations with our children change as they grow older. This is especially true on topics where there are disagreements. Proverbs 22:6 gives us the perspective that we are in it for the long haul. We are to build a Biblical foundation when they are young. As they grow older there may be times when our children do not seem close to Christ. But we have the promise that this foundation is always with them. Darlene Brock uses a messy bedroom as an example of how to parent with a Proverbs 22 mindset.

Jesus approached His relationships with His disciples in a similar way. He knew that there would be peaks and valleys. Look at what happened at Jesus' arrest. Everybody fled and He stood alone. Yet in a few short years, those same disciples who ran away took the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Many even died a martyr’s death. Our pattern for parenting can follow Jesus’ model. Start investing in your children's lives early and leave the results to God.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Matthew 26:55-56

At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Acts 2:37-41

Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
