- To become more like our Heavenly Father
- For our own learning development
- Learn to Love
- Give the children preparatory expierences
- Bring skilled workers into the world
Michael Popkin said, "Protect and prepare our children to survive and to thrive in the world we live in."
Apart from the reasons we have and raise children, what are some of the proper ways to bring up and teach our children? It is important to be active in the child's life, to win cooperation, to give responsibility and demand discipline, and lastly build courage and redirect misbehavior.
When problems arise many parents tend to focus on the issue. It would be more beneficial to focus on the needs of the child: contact and belonging. It is important as well to build your kids up and not overcorrect their actions. D&C 121 says we don't need to correct unless the spirit gives us an impression to. Kids need to grow on their ow and some of the biggest ways they grow is when they learn from their mistakes. We shouldn't take away the opportunities for kids to grow from their mistakes and be able to make better decisions the next time around.
