Best Parenting Advice Ever
by Jenny - reviewed on January 21, 2010
This talk contains the best parenting advice ever! Parenting is not about changing your children's behavior; it's about changing their hearts. Discipline is about becoming a disciple, not about punishment. As parents, our primary goal should be to help our children become converted and teach them how to turn to the Lord.
A Single Sister's Perspective
by Sierra - reviewed on April 08, 2013
I'm not a parent, so I can't really comment from the perspective of raising a family. But as a member of a family, there was a lot of food for thought and some suggestions and I think could make a big difference for the better in any family. I think that Elder Cook helps generate ideas that you could tweak to meet your own family's needs.
