Weekly Teaching Moment: Teaching Children Reverence and Respect
“When Primary leaders are asked to share some of their challenges in Primary, they often say it is a lack of reverence and respect. Children are growing up in a world where reverence for God and civility toward one another are rapidly diminishing. Incivility and irreverence can become normal and accepted by our children unless we teach them otherwise.
Parents can nurture reverent and respectful attitudes and behavior in their children. Primary leaders are asking parents to teach the true meaning of reverence to their children and set an example of reverence.
Children are not born with a natural inclination to be reverent. President Marion G. Romney said, "By and large, children . . . will be just about as reverent as they are trained to be, and no more" ("Reverence," Ensign, October 1976, p. 3).
What can parents and Church leaders do to encourage and nurture reverent and respectful attitudes and behavior in children?”
I hope that you can take some time this week to click on this link and study the “rest of the story”. I found this wonderful new article on LDS. Org. While you are studying it, write the impressions (revelations) that come to you and share them with your primaries.
I hope you each have a rewarding Sabbath Day tomorrow as a result of your preparation-
