I don’t have the exact name of the book, but my wife was reading a recent book on parenting by David Jerimiah and one point she shared with me was that in Proverbs 22:6 (“Train a child in the way he should go”) Dr. Jeremiah ephasized the word “he” and noted that it was not “they”, i.e., each individual child has a way that he/she should go and thus our parenting style should take this in consideration. That being said, I see this as advising that we should look to the individual needs of each child and modify our parenting within the bounds of the authoritative style described in this article.

The word “way”in Proverbs.22:6 is “bent”in the Hebrew.Parents,study the distinct personality of your child.What is his way,his bent?Encourage him,train him in that area.If His bent is to play the piano,don’t force him to play football.The Bible speaks of.the “way”of an eagle and the “way” of a man with a maid.
When parents compare one child with another….why can’t you be like sally?Suzy should reply,”Because,I’m not Sally,I’m Suzy.
