Teach your children to love and serve each other
Teach your children to love and serve each other

The family is the primary setting in which children learn to love and serve others.

In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Benjamin taught that we should not let our children “transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another. But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another” (Mosiah 4:14–15).

Our homes and families can be more peaceful and happy if family members love each other and are willing to serve each other.
