We believe in the rights of children
to:
love God
serve others
pray often
ask questions
work hard, and love it
have wishes granted
hear God's word
laugh a lot
breathe in fresh air
play in the dirt
turn up their noses at turnips, and eat them anyway
be heard
sing happy songs
make loud noises
discover God's love for them
read good books
accomplish goals
sleep soundly
feel secure because of boundaries
know they are loved
hear encouragement
receive kisses and hugs
play every day
work every day
work every day
learn by curiosity, example, and lecture
have a personal relationship with their Savior
discover their eternal potential
be respected like adults are
give compassion
eat candy
remember where they came from
and
belong to a family.
I love this talk from a living apostle of Jesus Christ. Watch it, and then love your children and the children around you. They need you. We need them!
