"And the child grew"

[For parents]

MARY BEACH

In bringing up children, parents often place great stress on food, sleep, exercise, and scholastic achievement. Certainly, from the human standpoint, nourishment of the physical body, adequate rest, wholesome activity, and progress in school are normal requirements for the welfare of a growing child. However, if he is to have the life of abundant good promised in the Scriptures, he must be helped to temper such considerations with the understanding and utilization of spiritual truths.

There is a report given in the Bible regarding the development of the boy Jesus. "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him." Luke 2 : 40 ; This brief but profound statement is far from indicating concern over diet, exercise, and retardation or acceleration in school.
