One of the greatest influences a person can have in this world is to influence a child. Children's beliefs and self-worth are shaped early in their lives.
How we speak to our children and the words we use can encourage and uplift them and strengthen their faith to stay on the path back to Heavenly Father. They come to this earth ready to listen.
DISCONNECT AND LISTEN WITH LOVE
Why not choose a time each day to disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other? Simply turn everything off. When you do this, your home may seem quiet at first; you may even feel at a loss as to what to do or say. Then, as you give full attention to your children, a conversation will begin, and you can enjoy listening to each other.
WRITE TO PERSUADE OUR CHILDREN
President Monson asks: "What would you and I say to our families if we were in the same situation-not having seen them for over two years and not knowing if we would ever see them again?
May the words we speak and write to our children reflect the love our Heavenly Father has for His Son, Jesus Christ, and for us.
