Puritan Parenting

“…from conception to marriage, parents were thoroughly involved in
the lives of their children. In every area, the parental task was to
lead children to God and to do His will. Puritan parents prayerfully
awaited God’s blessing on their endeavors. Blessing was measured
primarily by their children’s walking in communion with God,
manifesting holiness in their lives, and exercising their gifts to the
well-being of family, church, and society. The Puritans scorned those
who neglected the tasks of child-rearing, regarding them as fools and
scoundrels.”
