The Parent as a
Teacher
By JACK ARNOLD
Pastor, Pembroke Methodist
Church
“For unto us a child is born. . .*'
—lsaiah 9:6.
Allow me today to take this por
tion out of its Scriptural context
annd use it as an expression of joy
of the parents of a child. Perhaps
this is one thing the Lord is ap
pealing to, the joy of parenthood,
as He inspired Isaiah to write
these words introducing a passage
describing the attributes of the
Messiah. It is an expression which
is overflowing with thanksgiving
at the marvelous and mysterious
thing that God has made, possible
in this life. The result of the love
of man and woman takes the form
of a child. How wonderful is God
to bless us in such a marvelous
way.
There are no more valuable
things in the hands of a husband
and wife than the children with
whom their love has rewarded
them. As parents we marvel at
them in their infancy, dote on them
in their pre-school years, and tear
fully entrust them into the hand;
of our school at about their sixth
year.
Often this begins a time when
the parent goes into the back
ground in their child’s life. As
the child becomes involved in
school, church, and community ac
tivities, he gains more and more
freedom and is increasingly involv
ed in activities outside the home.
During this time, of course,
there are problems that the parent
must come out of the background
to deal with. Sickness, accidents,
hurt feelings cause the child to
come running for help. It elevates
our pride to know that he still
basically depends upon us.
And here is the crux of the prob
lem about which we think today.
So often the parent isn’t aware
just how deeply his child is de
pendent upon him. We make our
selves available for the apparent
needs which he has. But what i
about the needs which are not so
apparent? What about the unseen
needs of the future when he will
be on his own in an uncaring '
world? What about the decisions ;
he or she will face in becoming .
romantically involved with the op
posite sex?
Just as children don’t know that
they need to learn arithmetic un
til they are exposed to it, so young
people don’t realize how much is
involved in their relationships with
one another until somebody tells
them. What if no one teaches the
child arithmetic? He may learn by
evperience, but it wil Itake a lot
of time and he may make a lot of
mistakes while he is learning. But
if he could have learned it from
a teacher along with other chil
dren who were also learning, he
would have learned much more
quickly and before the principles
of arithmetic would have to be ap
plied to his real life activities.
The same is true of “the facts of
life.” Wouldn’t it be much bet
ter for your child to learn from
his parent a most beautiful and
intimate side of life that God has
provided for those whom he unites
in holy wedlock? Experience is
often a most expensive and painful
teacher. Sometimes it destroys
those who try to learn by it. Some
times it teaches falsely. No long
er do our children listen to arbi
trary commands. They have been
taught to thnik and act independ
ently. They want to know the whys
and wherefores and then be allow
ed to make up their own minds.
If their parents teach them with
sympathy, tolerance and confi
dence, most youth today will make I
parental teachings the codes of
their conduct.
We have mentioned specifically
this area, because it is one which
causes great anxiety among min
isters, teachers and parents today.
There is a great parental obliga
tion to teach children about sex
as they grow up. Many parents
need to learn a lot themselves.
They can do so by talking with a
physician or minister or by con
sulting one of many excellent books
on the subject.
Parents find it so very reward-
