The home should be to the children the most attractive place in the world,....
Young children love companionship and can seldom enjoy themselves alone. They yearn for sympathy and tenderness.
By entering into their feelings and directing their amusements and employments, the mother will gain the confidence of her children, and she can the more effectually correct wrong habits, or check the manifestations of selfishness or passion.
Mothers should guard against training their children to be dependent and self-absorbed. Never lead them to think that they are the center, and that everything must revolve around them.
The father is the lawmaker of the household; and, like Abraham, he should make the law of God the rule of his home. God said of Abraham, I know him, that he will command his children and his household. Genesis 18:19.
