"trust and obey them, are teaching him to love and trust and obey his Father in heaven. Parents who impart to a child such a gift have endowed him with a treasure more precious than the wealth of all the ages—a treasure as enduring as eternity. MH 375.3"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage is a clear amplification of the principle in Proverbs 22:6, emphasizing the importance of parental guidance in shaping a child's spiritual development and leading them to love and obey God.
