New York University Week 1 Parents Role on Raising Children Discussion

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

Proverbs 22: 6 (NIV) Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.

In this verse God is giving a directive to parents that will guide them in building a foundation for their children that will provide a solid spiritual and emotional foundation to take with them along their journey of life. An example would be for parents to teach their children about faith in God’s will over their lives especially when faced with challenges in obstacles in life. Children are taught not to despair but stay faithful to God’s will. Emotionally they do not have to breakdown and give up but stay faithful.

This example would help culturally diverse families holistically support their children by instilling God’s love, understanding and faith in all things. Whether that be illness or financial struggles. Faith in God promises that all things happen for a reason. We must pray and remain steadfast in his WORD. We are not to give up but in turn have faith that he will deliver. Jesus used children as an example for adults to follow. He taught us just like entering into the kingdom of God requires us to become like children and servants (Ireland, 2017). That means to obey, to listen, to learn.

Emotional and mental health in children might look different based on different cultural definitions of health but the result is always the same, for the child to be safe, loved, understood and be able to keep living.
