I wanted to give my girls and son some encouragement regarding their very busy, active, inquisitive boys and anyone else out there who find themselves equally baffled. I found these great words of wisdom in Elder Lynn G. Robbins April Conf address entitled, What Manner of Men and Women Ought Ye to Be. I wish I had had these words of wisdom when I was raising all of mine....
"A sweet and obedient child will enroll a father and mother only in Parenting 101. If you are blessed with a child who tests your patience to the nth degree, you will be enrolled in Parenting 505. Rather than wonder what you might have done wrong in the premotal life to be so deserving, you might consider the more challenging child a blessing and an opportunity to become more godlike yourself. With which child will your patience, long suffering, and other Christlike virtues most likely be tested, developed, and refined. Could it be possible that you need this child as much as this child needs you?"
