Manners and obedience, virtures for children
By Bro. Richard Williams
The traits of rudeness,
disobedience and uncoopertiveness
are all problems of attitude,
whether in children or adults. They
al! relate to one basic attitude
problem—selfishness. Such traits
are both anti-social and anti-scrip
tural.
Parents Should Be Concerned
Yes, in answer to the question of
our title, parents should be con
cerned about these selfish traits.
However, it may be observed that
these traits must be considered
somewhat “natural” in very young

Enrichment

The National Association of
University Women, Augusta Bran
ch, has planned a series of

interest of those who atended the
first Rising Senior Symposium as
well as other interested seniors.
The series will be held at Paine
College in Room 3 of the Music
Building, on successive Saturdays
from 9:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m.
beginning March 9.
Workshop leaders are Dr.
Robetta McKenzie, Director of
Guidance, Testing and Coun

children. After all, as infants
children are the most selfish
creatures imaginable.
It is of no concern to them to
awaken their parents at 1 a.m. for
feeding or again at 3 a.m. for a
diaper change. We do not expect
them to stop crying and go back to
sleep and not to awaken us aeain
tomorrow night. Such good man
ners, obedience and cooperation
are not within the capabilities of
the very young and informed
parents rightly expect such traits in
their infants.
As a child develops, godly
parents will understand that one of
their major responsibilities toward
the child is to help him mature out
of his selfishness. “Foolishness is
bound in the heart of a child; but
the rod of correction shall drive it
far from him” (Prov. 22:15). The
lessons of courteous behavior,
obedience and cooperation will be
learned in direct proportion to the
harnessing of selfishness in the
child. It may be further observed
that the more one continues to
mature spiritually, even in adult

years, the more he will grow out of
selfishness.
Because of Bible doctrine,
parents should be concerned about
these matters. God’s word teaches
that the spiritually mature person
is kind, unselfish, humbel and
behaves himself in a “seemly”
(well-mannered) way (I Cor. 14:4-
5). Children are commanded to
obey their parents in the Lord,
because it is right (Eph. 6:1).
Disobedience to parents is twice
listed as wrong—-terribly
wrong—behavior in children
(Rom. 1:30; II Tim. 3:2).
A murmuring and comnlainino
spirit are certain symptoms of un
cooperativeness and such is in
tolerable to God (Phi. 2:14; Jude
16). Since the pattern of per
sonality that pleases God does not
include rudeness, rebellion and
refusal to cooperate, it must follow
that right-thinking parents will
want to help their children grow
out of these traits.
The aforementioned traits are
not only anti-scriptural, but also
anti-social. They do not harmonize
with civilized behavior and they
contradict the normal social
graces. God wants us to live in
such away that our lives will
“adorn the doctrine of God” (Tit.
2:10). No one will be attracted to the
gospel by a life that is uncouth and
rebellious. Even the uncouth and
rebellious do not generally ap
preciate these characteristics in
others.
Overcoming These Traits
There are several powerful tools
at our disposal to help our children
overcome these infantile traits.
The example of godly parents must
not be underestimated. Many

Mission Day
Rock of Ages C.M.E. Church
will celebrate its annual Missionary
Day on March 10 at 3 p.m. Rev.
Timothy Greene, pastor of Miles
Memorial C.M.E. Church will be

Rev. J.E. Robinson is the
pastor. The public is invited to at
tend
children, even in Christian homes,
have such poor models to follow in
their parents that it is almost im
possible for them to overcome
their selfishness. Rude, boorish,
ill-mannered, harsh and unkind
parents have little hope of teaching
their children to be courteous and
kind.
How can a parent who ignores
speed limits and ridicules “cops”
for doing their job or constantly
criticizes faithful elders and
preachers before his children,
prossibly create an obedient at
titude toward that parent’s
authority in those children? Paren
ts ought to be models of
cooperation and helpfulness
toward one another, the Lord’s
people, their neighbors, the school
system, indeed, toward all men in
all good things, for such example
will not be lost on the child.
A child’s associates in his own
peer group may either help or hin
der the attempts of parents to train
their children out of destructive
personality patterns. “Evil com
panionships corrupt good morals”
(I Cor. 15:33) in children, as in
other age groups. Parents should
be concerned with the behavior of
their children’s friends, as well as
with that of their children.
