(2 Timoti 1:5; 3:15) Kubalulekile ukumazi kakuhle umntwana wakho. Kakade ke, nomzekelo owubonisayo ubalulekile. Indlela yokufundisa umntwana wakho ngeLizwi likaYehova kukuba uqale ulifunde wena siqu.—INdumiso 40:8.

Ukuze bakwazi ukuthetha nawe ngeengxaki zabo, sukuba ngumntu owoyikekayo. (Yakobi 3:18) Xa becingela ukuba ungqwabalala, abayi kukhululeka xa bethetha nawe. Yiba nomonde kubantwana bakho uze ubaqinisekise ukuba uyabathanda.—Mateyu 3:17; 1 Korinte 8:1.

Yinto eqhelekileyo ngabantwana ukubaxa izinto okanye bathethe amazwi abangaqondanga kuwathetha. “Ukuba nabani na uphendula umbandela ngaphambi kokuwuva, bubudenge obo kuye.” (IMizekeliso 18:13) Ngoko, sukukhawuleza ucaphuke.—IMizekeliso 19:11.

Bafundise abantwana bakho ukuba bakumamele yaye bakuthobele.

(IMizekeliso 28:7) Bafundise nokuthanda iLizwi likaYehova baze baqonde imigaqo yalo. (INdumiso 1:2) Oku kuya kubanceda babe nesazela esicocekileyo.—Hebhere 5:14.
