“Parents can plant seeds in the hearts and minds of their children only if they know where the children are and what they are doing. Parents should not leave the teaching of their children to chance.”
–Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, May 1989, p. 9
Scriptures:
- The cursing may be upon the heads of your parents, 2 Ne. 4:6
- Teach parents that they must repent and be baptized, Moro. 8:10
- Parents are commanded to teach the gospel to their children, D&C 68:25





When I was growing up, there was a commercial that aired nightly with these words: “It’s 10pm. Do you know where your children are?” Ah, those were the good old days. And these can be as well.
