Parenting is a privilege and honor to bring children into the world and help them grow and develop to become the best that they can be.  In our children’s lives they will have many teachers, at school, their peers, at church, etc. However, parents are the greatest and most influential teacher they will have in their lives.

Rosemary Wixom said, “The world will teach our children if we do not, and children are capable of learning all the world will teach them at a very young age. What we want them to know five years from now needs to be part of our conversation with them today. Teach them in every circumstance; let every dilemma, every consequence, every trial that they may face provide an opportunity to teach them how to hold on to gospel truths.” Parents need to seek the guidance of God for the best way to teach their child to help them have success. I’m grateful for my parents who diligently sought the guidance from a loving Heavenly Father to help me become the best that I could be. They taught me to serve, work, and to seek to know my Heavenly Father. May we be our children’s teachers and teach them the way to know their Heavenly Father.
