“Train Up a Child”
Elder L. Tom Perry
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Parents must lay a gospel foundation at home, teaching work, good habits and modesty to prepare their children.
“people are more important than programs”
“The responsibility for training children rests primarily with the parents.”
“children need to be taught the joy of honest labor”
“Teach them the basic knowledge that the earth is the Lord's.”
Scriptures
Prov. 22:6; D&C 68:25; D&C 68:28
