“The ministry of evangelization carried out by Christian parents is original and irreplaceable. It assumes the characteristics typical of family life itself, which should be interwoven with love, simplicity, practicality and daily witness”
- St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio
You are your child's most important teacher and teaching is what parents do naturally. Parental guidance is far and away the most important factor in who a child grows up to be.
As you grow in your faith together, your child will be learning not just with what you teach but even more from your example and witness. This is something they cannot get in any classroom, no matter how good that classroom is.
