Proverbs 23:24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
As we learned earlier in Proverbs the way to raise a righteous child is with proper discipline from both parents. This should include corporal punishment balanced with kindness and love. If this is administered in the proper way it should produce a godly virtue in our children which will bring parental joy. Parents who are successful in seeing their children live a righteous life style, as they grow in wisdom and knowledge, will be more joy for them than the child. Again we should strive to help our children, no matter age, to gain all the wisdom knowledge of God that they can.
