The Word of God in the training of our children

I am currently doing a Shepherding a Child's Heart course by Tedd Tripp. It has been very beneficial to encourage me to see the importance of the Lords Word in the training and raising of my child(ren). It is the Word of God alone that can change our hearts and that will change the hearts of our children:
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
The week that we started the course the Lord also brought another Scripture on my path, which has truly motivated me to memorize Scripture:
Luk 6:47-49 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
We are building a foundation for our children's lives on which their whole life will be built. This foundation will determine how they deal with difficult situations and trials that will come their way. It will also determine how they deal with the world's influence which is so invasive in our lives. What better foundation can we give them than the Words of Jesus. He said himself that it is the best one and that the consequences of such a foundation are lasting.
At the same time I have come to realise (it is actually so obvious), that the Word of God IS truly is the sword of the Spirit:
Eph 6:14-17 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
The Spirit uses the Word of God to help fight our temptations; to comfort us in suffering; and to strengthen us through trials. However, in order for the Spirit to be able to use the Word as His swrod, we must have assimilated is; have made it a part of us; have digested it. I have therefore realised that it is crucial for us to memorize Scripture; not out of duty, but out of joy because of the knowledge that the Spirit won't only use it in our lives - and He will! - but He will also use it in the lives of our children as we use it to correct them; encourage them and to tell them about our joyin and love for God:
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
We can say it to our children in times of discipline, even though they might not understand it yet. I use it with my 16month old and it always gets his attention and amuses him. We can also use it spontaneously during the day; when changing nappies, or when making supper. I want to encourage my fellow mothers in Christ to make the Word part of themselves in order to build a foundation that storms cannot overcome for their children.
