Nokho, ngubani okufanelekela ngcono ukufundisa abantwana iqiniso ngekolo nangeenkambisolawulo zokuziphatha? Cabangela lokho okutjhiwo yiBhayibhili ngendaba le, bese ukumadanisa nalokho abarhubhululi abakufumeneko.

Iyini Indima Kababa?

Lokho okufundiswa yiBhayibhili: “Bobaba, ningabasilingi abantwabenu, kodwana bakhuliseni ngokubandula nesiluleko seKosi.”—Kwebe-Efesu 6:4, “Holman Christian Standard Bible.”

Lokho okufunyenwe barhubhululi: Abobaba bazuza njani nengabe bakhe ikholo eliqinileko ngekolo? Isihloko esithi, Fathers’ Religious Involvement and Early Childhood Behavior, esagadangiswa ngo-2009, sathi: “Ukubandakanyeka emphakathini wekolo kungasiza amadoda bona abe bobaba abangcono.

Ngo-2009 iYunivesithi yeFlorida yagadangisa isihloko ebesikhuluma ngomthelela abobaba abanawo ebantwaneni babo. Abarhubhululi bafumene bona abantwana abanabobaba ebebazibandakanye ngokuzeleko ekukhuleni kwabo kanengi baba nesirhawu nokuzithemba. Abasana akusikanengi baziphatha kumbi, begodu abantazana kanengi baphila kuhle engqondweni. Kwamambala, isiluleko seBhayibhili sisaqakathekile.

Iqakatheke Kangangani Indima Kamma?

Lokho okufundiswa yiBhayibhili: “Ungawutjhiyi umthetho kanyoko.”—Iziyema 1:8.

Abomma nabobaba nebasebenza ndawonye ekufundiseni abantwababo ngoZimu, babanikela okunganani izipho eembili eziligugu. Kokuthoma, abantwana bathola ithuba lokwakha ubuhlobo noBababo osezulwini, ubuhlobo obuzobazuzisa ukuphila kwabo koke. Kwesibili, abantwana bafunda ngesibonelo bona indoda nomfazi kufuze babambisane njani ukufikelela iimnqopho eqakathekileko. (KwebeKholose 3:18-20) Nanyana abanye bangakghona ukusiza ubaba nomma, kodwana babelethi abanomthwalo wokufundisa abantwababo ngoZimu nangendlela uZimu afuna umndeni ubambisane ngayo.
