SOME ATTRIBUTES OF A FOOLISH CHILD 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Psalms 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

  The Book of Proverbs, a key text in the Bible, offers timeless wisdom on various aspects of life, including the behaviour of children. It highlights several attributes of a foolish child, contrasting them with the characteristics of a wise one. 

1. **Disobedience**: Proverbs 13:1 describes a foolish child as one who disregards their parents’ instructions, showing a lack of respect and wisdom.

2. **Laziness**: Proverbs 10:5 warns against laziness, noting that a foolish child sleeps during harvest, missing opportunities and failing to contribute.

3. **Anger**: Proverbs 14:17 links foolishness with quick-tempered behaviour, indicating that a foolish child is easily angered, leading to poor decisions.

4. **Dishonesty**: Proverbs 12:22 condemns lying lips, highlighting that dishonesty is a hallmark of a foolish child.

5. **Disregard for Wisdom**: Proverbs 1:7 notes that fools despise wisdom and instruction, meaning a foolish child ignores valuable life lessons.

6. **Poor Companionship**: Proverbs 13:20 advises that associating with fools leads to harm, implying that a foolish child often keeps bad company.

7. **Pride**: Proverbs 16:18 warns that pride leads to destruction, suggesting that a foolish child is often arrogant and overconfident. 

These attributes serve as warnings and lessons, urging children to seek wisdom and avoid the pitfalls of folly.
