Favorite quotes:
- "We should remember that saying 'I love you' is only a beginning. We need to say it, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to show it. We need to both express and demonstrate love." - Elder Bednar
- "Feeling the security and constancy of love from a spouse, a parent, or a child is a rich blessing. Such love nurtures and sustains faith in God. Such love is a source of strength and casts out fear. Such love is the desire of every human soul." - Elder Bednar
- "When the Lord created parents, he created something breathtakingly close to what he is. We who have borne children innately know that this is the highest of callings, the holiest of assignments." - Sister Holland
- "Parenting has almost nothing to do with training. It has everything to do with your heart." - Sister Holland
- "But it helps us to always remember that these are God’s children as well as ours. And above all, it should give us a perfect brightness of hope to know that when we need help we can go through the veil to get it." - Sister Holland
Loving our Children:
- Spoiling is giving your child things in place of love
- Best adjusted children have the highest levels of parental love
- Children need to be physically touched through appropriate affection
- Praise your children's accomplishments but let them know your love for them is not based on their success
- Home should be a safe haven for children where they can feel relaxed, safe, and secure in a happy, loving environment.
- Children need rhythm and routines in their lives
Being involved in your Child's life:
- Quality time is giving your child your undivided attention, having your mind in the moment with your child, not focusing on something else.
- Take interest in your child's interests
- Be involved in your child's school and other activities
