Proverbs 22: Learn the value of a good name, the blessings of humility, and the importance of teaching children righteousness.
I checked the BYU Religious Studies Center (rsc.byu.edu) and The Joseph Smith Papers (josephsmithpapers.org) for relevant material on Proverbs 22. While these sites contain much valuable scholarship, an article from the Ensign on the importance of parents teaching their children felt more directly applicable and comprehensive for today's devotional focus on Proverbs 22:6, which states, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
A 2007 Ensign article by Elder L. Tom Perry, titled "Train Up a Child," emphasizes the profound responsibility parents have to teach their children gospel principles, from daily prayer and scripture study to temple attendance. Elder Perry explains that parents are the most influential teachers in their children's lives, shaping their character and choices for eternity. He encourages parents to create a home environment centered on Christ, where children learn by example and through consistent instruction, thus fulfilling the divine charge to "train up a child in the way he should go." This counsel applies especially to teaching children the value of a good name and the blessings of humility.

How does Elder Perry's emphasis on consistent, daily teaching align with or expand upon the idea that a good name is "rather to be chosen than great riches" (Proverbs 22:1)?
As you consciously invite the Lord's guidance into your daily plans, how might this intention specifically strengthen your efforts to teach righteousness to those in your care, trusting that His direction will lead to their eternal purpose?
