If students share personal struggles, reassure them that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them, and encourage them to seek counsel from parents, Church leaders, school counselors or other emotional health professionals. These activities use no scores and no shared free text; reflection stays on each student’s phone.

Perfect, eventually
Send this to your class chat after the lesson. Students and parents can open the story and resources at home, alone or with family.
“Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.”Moroni 10:32
Ask: Where do you expect perfection of yourself right now, and what would His grace say?
Try: When you catch a perfectionistic thought, swap it for one that remembers His grace.
