What stood out to me the most this week was that although it
is important to garner as much as possible about enriching one’s family we
cannot and should not forget to be attentive to the promptings of the spirit.
We have to be obedient to receive such marvelous advice and revelation. Another
concept that stood out to me was the fact that we as parents or potential
parents have to establish or teach our children by allowing and encouraging
them to explore and try new things (experiences) to enable them to grow both
spiritually and mature mental/ socially. The final thought that I would like to point
out from the class discussion is the fact that when parents try to get rid of
an undesirable behavior that their child has they do not realize that it is an
secret attempt to get their psychological needs met so we as parents have to
meet our children at their level sometime instead of just pushing them away or
punishing them. We have to be like the Savior in the since that he still loves
us despite the many mistakes that we make.
