There Is No Silver Bullet
This is not a fool-proof formula that guarantees success if perfectly applied. Reality is more complicated than that. Your children are responsible for their own lives. Your job as a parent is to prepare them as best you can for what lays ahead.

But they make their own choices, they have their own genetic dispositions, some are shy, some are bold, some are leaders, some are followers... You cannot change who they are. What you can do is help them direct their strengths and weaknesses in a good direction.

For most of us that phrase "good direction" would include getting on the path of repentance, baptism, forgiveness through Christ, and hope of resurrection unto eternal life. But their entrance into that path is not in you hands... that is God's domain. Leave it to Him.

Focus on doing the best possible job you can fulfilling your responsibility toward you children. This will be pleasing to God.
