Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The various branches of godly training may be thus enumerated: 1. Instruction in right principles — the principles of God's Word. 2. The inculcation of right practice — the practice of God's will. 3. Salutary admonition and restraint, and correction. 4. The careful avoidance of exposure to evil company and evil example. 5. The exhibition before them of a good example in ourselves. 6. Constant, believing, and earnest prayer. (R. Wardlaw, D.D.)
