The divine role of parents shows up in everyday moments when mothers and fathers take time to teach their children what they know about God and the life He wants for them. In those ordinary conversations and examples, parents step into a sacred partnership with our Heavenly Parents as they guide their sons and daughters toward faith, understanding, and a return to Them.
Scripture
“And Adam and Eve blessed the name of God, and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters.”—Moses 5:12
Quote
“Parenting is one of life’s most extraordinary experiences. Parents enter a partnership with their Heavenly Father to guide their precious children back to heaven.”—Valeri V. Cordón, “Divine Parenting Lessons”

Living the Principle: The Divine Role of Parents
- Share a personal experience with a child about how faith in God has shaped an important decision or helped through a challenge. Speak plainly about what was learned and invite the child to ask questions or share thoughts.
- Read a short passage of scripture with a child and pause to explain what it teaches about God and how people should treat one another. Encourage the child to connect the message to something happening in school, friendships, or family life.
- Create a simple family habit of speaking openly about gratitude for God’s guidance by asking children what they noticed or learned about Him through a recent experience. Listen carefully and affirm their insights so they recognize that their spiritual understanding matters.
