Description:
President Ezra Taft Benson has said, "Consider from the Book of Mormon the responsibility fathers have to teach their sons, and the responsibility sons have to take direction from their fathers. This counsel also applies to all parents and their children." Responding to this challenge, E. Douglas Clark and Robert S. Clark discuss the principles of family teaching and learning found in the Book of Mormon, such as setting a righteous example, praying for children, praising obedient children, and, especially, teaching children - with the scriptures, with tenderness, with repetition, and with personal experience and testimony. Following the example of righteous parents in the Book of Mormon, parents today can provide their children with a heritage of faith that will last for eternities.
