God’s word says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” This is the clear instruction from God’s word on this matter. It however raises the salient question, ‘in what way should the child go?’ To answer this question, parents will need to consult the child’s Maker, the One who formed the child and placed him or her on earth in their care. They would also have to be watchful to recognize the calling of each child. The child’s calling will usually manifest itself in several ways – their rare gifts or talents, natural abilities or aptitude, their passions, areas of strength (and weakness!), and even their basic make-up or temperaments.
