Not necessarily so....you can teach a child morals, how to make good decisions, and what consequences are ......but you cannot make them choose these.
We all know parents who raised kids the right way to no avail.....when they make their decisions...it is their choices and theirs alone.
In my community one kids dad was abusive in every way....horrible treatment...today He's a Physician with a family of his own and respected in the community...........on the other hand, another kid who was taught all the right things, no abuse of any kind, chose to experiment with the dark side of life...ended up basically in the gutter holes of life...and then he died.
“.. you cannot make them choose these...”
So true. My daughters have chosen to understand conservative values and I am grateful. However, if they had chosen to listen to the leftist propaganda there is not much I could have done about it.
