If we will dedicate ourselves and our children to God, then He will guide us and teach us how to be good parents. We need no further instruction than that.
How to be a Good Parent: Dedicate Yourself to God
Holy
Is it Sinful to Work on Sunday?
Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. This is one of the Ten Commandments. So is it wrong to work on Sunday or have we been set free from this law?
