It's not easy to be a parent these days. One difficult challenge is the scarcity of time. We don't have the time to parent our children well, and we feel guilty about it. We delegate this task to the school or the church, but we know it's not enough. Children are growing up without a moral compass because parents are seldom present to mentor or guide them. Add the influence of media and technology, and the results are not surprising. We need to learn the principles of pious parenting.
