The Lord will be with you, mothers, as you try
to form right habits in your children. But you must
begin the training process early, or your future
work will be very difficult. Teach them line upon
line, precept upon precept, here a little, and there a
little. Bear in mind that your children belong to
God and are to become His sons and daughters. He
designs that the families on earth shall be samples
of the family in heaven.—The Review and Herald,
December 5, 1899.
Habits Seldom Changed.—Repeated acts in a
given course become habits. These may be
modified by severe training, in afterlife, but are
seldom changed. Once formed, habits become
more and more firmly impressed upon the
character.—The Gospel Herald, January, 1880.
(Child Guidance, 199, 200.)
Attacking Wrong Habits Does Little
Good.—It is of little use to try to reform others by
attacking what we may regard as wrong habits.
