One of our main duties as parents is to help our children discover their strengths, talents and abilities. That's really what this verse is talking about. The emphasis is on "he": "Train up a child in the way HE should go..."
If you have a child living in your home, ask yourself the following questions:
1) What is he/she really good at?
2) How can I help my child get better at these skills?
As parents, our duty is not to mold our kids into our image... into what we want them to be and relive our lives vicariously through them. We need to help them discover who God created them to be, see their unique and divine gifting, and walk the path God has for them.
