We need to learn how to train our children according to the Bible, using resources such as books. Roleplay the kind of behaviour you'd like to see, make it age-appropriate, be intentional and never give up.
Learning from at the example of Moses, being humble doesn't mean you don't go through trouble in life. While we build a family and career or face opportunities to lead, fear is not a sign of lack of faith, but of intimidation. We don't want to lead because we don't want to face tough situations, but suffering brings about transformation. Knowing God is the most important thing in life. Our knowledge adn walk with him will help us make good choices. We need to fight for our faith.
