What does Proverbs 5:1 mean?

As at the beginning of chapter 4, Solomon urges his son to pay close attention to his words. He describes his teaching as having wisdom and understanding. A parent is responsible for the instruction of his children. Deuteronomy 6:6–7 issues the Lord's command, "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."
