Parents Should Be Examples of Christlike Attributes
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings
"Each mother and father should lay aside selfish interests and avoid any thought of hypocrisy, physical force, or evil speaking. Parents soon learn that each child has an inborn yearning to be free. Each individual wants to make his or her own way. No one wants to be restrained, even by a well-intentioned parent. But all of us can cling to the Lord."
-- Russell M. Nelson, "Set in Order Thy House," Ensign, Nov. 2001, 70
