As parents, we are constant learning mode but I did learn something from this talk from an earlier Ensign;
Think about the relationship we have with our Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have heard Dr. Lynn Scoresby observe, “When we make mistakes, the Savior doesn’t say, ‘Go to your room.’ He says, ‘Come unto me.’ ”
That can be our example for our relationships with the children we know. We want to return to our Heavenly Father. We want to go home. The mission of the Savior is to take us home.
I know at times, we do this to our children when they whine or complaint by not allowing bad spirits or negativism to exist in our presence. Perhaps, it is better to sit them down and instruct them vice sending them to the room. Something I need to learn in our own family.
