And they will get what they want either by their own choice without the needed discrimination.

- 35. CONCLUSION: • Raising andprotecting our children is one of the most important responsibilities we have as parents, guardians, and caregivers. Through the Bible, we are reminded of the sacred nature of our role and the importance of training our children in the ways of the Lord. The scientific understanding of child development shows us the significance of attachment, positive reinforcement, and healthy relationships. Ellen G. White’s counsel aligns with these principles, urging us to create loving, structured environments that promote physical, emotional, and spiritual health. • In the end, “saving” our children isn’t just about protecting them from external dangers, but also about guiding them toward a life filled with purpose, love, and faith in God. By combining biblical teachings and inspired counsel, we can fulfill our role as stewards of the next generation.
- 36. May we, asparents, caregivers, and mentors, find wisdom in these principles and commit to safeguarding our children's future in every aspect—body, mind, and spirit.
Editor's Notes
- #2 While children were greatly desired in the ancient world (particularly boys in the male-dominant culture), birth and childhood were not easy. Without modern medical care, the risks to mothers in giving birth and to newborns, infants, and children were elevated. Many cultures had traditional medicines and amulets used to protect these vulnerable individuals against malevolent forces. While children were desired, they were of low social status, along the lines of slaves, actually (Galatians 4:1-2). In the Greco-Roman world, those who were deformed or undesirable would be exposed, or even tossed in a river. Boys were valued over girls; sometimes girl babies were left to die among the elements. At times these abandoned babies were “rescued,” only to be raised and sold as slaves. The disciples appear not to have understood Jesus’ teaching in Mark 9:1-50 about receiving the kingdom of God like a child (Mark 9:33-37). Now they rebuke those who brought children to Jesus for blessing, perhaps thinking that He would not have time for such a simple task. They were wrong. Jesus is indignant. Throughout Mark, Jesus has some striking reactions to people, and it is instructive that one of His strong reactions was toward people who were keeping children away from Him. He strongly insists that the disciples must not stand in the way of the children. Why? Because the kingdom of God belongs to them, and one must receive it in the attitude and outlook of a child—probably a reference to simple, implicit trust in God. Samtang ang mga bata gitinguha pag-ayo sa karaan nga kalibutan (ilabi na ang mga lalaki sa kultura nga dominante sa lalaki), ang pagkahimugso ug pagkabata dili sayon. Kung walay modernong medikal nga pag-atiman, ang mga risgo sa mga inahan sa pagpanganak ug sa mga bag-ong nahimugso, mga masuso, ug mga bata mitaas. Daghang mga kultura ang adunay tradisyonal nga mga tambal ug mga anting-anting nga gigamit aron mapanalipdan kining mga huyang nga mga indibidwal batok sa mga daotang pwersa. Samtang ang mga bata gitinguha, sila ubos sa kahimtang sa katilingban, subay sa linya sa mga ulipon, sa tinuod (Galacia 4:1-2). Sa Greco-Romano nga kalibutan, kadtong mga deformed o dili gusto ibutyag, o bisan itambog sa suba. Ang mga lalaki gipabilhan kay sa mga babaye; usahay ang mga batang babaye gipasagdan nga mamatay taliwala sa mga elemento. Kon kaisa ining gin-abandonar nga mga lapsag “ginaluwas,” para lamang padakuon kag ibaligya subong mga ulipon. Ang mga tinun-an daw wala makasabut sa pagtulun-an ni Jesus sa Marcos 9:1-50 mahitungod sa pagdawat sa gingharian sa Dios sama sa usa ka bata (Marcos 9:33-37). Karon ilang gibadlong kadtong nagdala sa mga bata ngadto kang Jesus alang sa panalangin, tingali naghunahuna nga wala Siyay panahon alang sa ingon ka yano nga buluhaton. Nasayop sila. Si Jesus nasuko. Sa tibuok Marcos, si Jesus adunay pipila ka talagsaong mga reaksiyon sa mga tawo, ug makatudlo nga ang usa sa Iyang kusganong reaksiyon mao ang mga tawo nga nagpalayo sa mga bata gikan Kaniya. Siya kusganong miinsistir nga ang mga tinun-an kinahanglang dili mobabag sa dalan sa mga bata. Ngano man? Tungod kay ang gingharian sa Dios ila, ug kinahanglang dawaton kini sa usa ka tawo diha sa kinaiya ug panglantaw sa usa ka bata—tingali usa ka pakisayran sa yano, hingpit nga pagsalig sa Dios.
- #7 Children are precious gifts from God, and we are called to nurture and protect them.
- #8 In what way we keep our little ones away from Jesus?
- #9 Ang pagpasagad sa katungdanan, dili makatarunganon nga pagpatuyang, kapakyasan sa pagpugong o pagtul-id sa mga kabuang sa pagkabatan-on, moresulta sa pagkadili malipayon ug sa katapusan makadaot sa mga anak ug kahigawad ug kaguol sa mga ginikanan.

- #16 So since the influence of home environment is very important, what do you feed the minds of your children during their early years?
- #17 Ang pagkabata karon naimpluwensyahan sa digital nga teknolohiya, structured nga mga iskedyul, kaluwasan, ug kalampusan, nga adunay gamay nga oras sa gawas ug mas daghang oras sa screen. Nagdala kini sa talagsaon nga mga hagit sama sa pagkaadik sa screen ug pressure sa akademiko, nga dili kaayo komon kaniadto.
- #19 Ang mas daghang oras nga gigugol sa social media mahimong mosangpot sa cyberbullying, sosyal nga kabalaka, depresyon, ug pagkaladlad sa content nga dili angay sa edad. Ang Social Media makaadik. Kung nagdula ka o nagtuman sa usa ka buluhaton, gitinguha nimo nga buhaton kini kutob sa imong mahimo.
- #20 Mahimong hinungdan… Kalangan sa Pagsulti Kakulangan sa Atensyon Problema sa pagkat-on Problema sa pagkatulog Kabalaka Depresyon sa pagkabata.

- #25 Teaching Bible stories lays a foundation for spiritual wisdom and helps children recognize God's presence in their lives.
- #30 Parenting is not just about providing basic needs but about consistently imparting God's word through daily life.
- #32 Ang mga istorya sa Bibliya makatabang sa mga bata nga maugmad ang lalom nga pagsabot sa kamatuoran sa Diyos ug mapanalipdan ang ilang kasingkasing gikan sa makadaot nga mga impluwensiya.
- #33 Walay mas importante, kay sa lawom ug himsog nga kinaiya sa imong pamilya. Hatagi ang imong mga anak og usa ka butang nga wala nila- ug kinahanglan. Pagpalig-on alang sa imong pagtudlo sa bili sa paagi nga ilang higugmaon ug malingaw. Ang mga bata mahimong mas mausisahon kada adlaw. Ilang nasabtan ang tanan—maayo o daotan— nga maabot nila. Ug makuha nila ang ilang gusto pinaagi sa ilang kaugalingon nga pagpili nga wala’y kinahanglan nga diskriminasyon
