Whether someone has just been introduced to parenting for the first time with a brand new baby, or they have full grown kids and are now grandparents, it seems like most of them would tell you there is always room for growth and to learn. In my limited experience once we feel like we got the hang of something, then immediately we find ourselves in a clueless situation.
As believers, God has given us an amazing opportunity to raise children in a way that will glorify Him and make much of Christ. Here is some Scripture on Parenting:
