Ephesians 6:4 - And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

As parents, it is our grave responsibility to train up our children. It is so important to be consistent and practice what we preach. We often wonder why children stray from what their parents taught them. I think sometimes it is because the parents provoked them to wrath by teaching one thing and living the opposite, or by letting things slide one day and blowing up about them the next. Lord, help me to be consistent in teaching and practice.
