"So frequently we mistakenly believe that our children need more things, when in reality their silent pleadings are simply for more of our time."

Thomas S Monson, Ensign May 1994 p62

"Our children are watching . . .What is the example we are presenting to them?"

Thomas S Monson Nov 1998 Ensign p48

"Make your home a haven of peace and righteousness. Don't allow evil influences to contaminate your own special spiritual environment."
M. Russell Ballard May 1999 Ensign p87

"Parents and children should realize that strong opposition will always come against the work and will of the Lord. Because the work (and glory) of God is to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life as a family, it logically follows that the work of the adversary will strike directly at the heart of the home--the family. Relentlessly Lucifer attacks the sanctity of life and the joy of parenthood.
"Because the evil one is ever at work, our vigilance cannot be relaxed--not even for a moment. A small and seemingly innocent invitation can turn into a tall temptation which can lead to tragic transgression. Night and day, at home or away, we must shun sin and 'hold fast that which is good.' "

Russell M Nelson Nov 2001 Ensign

"Your little ones will learn how to talk to their Father in Heaven by listening to you as parents. They will soon see how heartfelt and honest your prayers are. If your prayers are hurried and thoughtless ritual, they will see this too."

Marion G Romney Nov 1979
