PARENT BOOST:

Family home evening consistency is hard. Treats help, but sometimes it’s difficult to be consistent with lessons and activities. However, our kids thrive on it. The whole family does when we do it right. I love this PARENT STRENGTHENING TALK about setting our homes in order and being more diligent and concerned in our homes by Elder Bednar. This motivates me to be a better teacher and nurturer of my children and to faithfully hold family home evenings. It’s worth a listen and was a tremendous reminder to me!
