In our kids life the foundation is the most important part of their life. During this time we teach them who they are and who they will become. This is commonly know as the informative years. The assignment was given by God (the source) and the control is given to the parents. If we don't control the direction of the flow (hose) the water will go any and every where. We as parents have control the faucet and the hose. If we don't someone else will, and we can't guarantee that they will teach the same as the parents.
