Matthew 7:3-5
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy [child’s] eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy [child], Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy [child’s] eye.

Elder Shayne Bowen: “A central part of our Father’s plan was that we would be free to choose. This gift is called agency, the power to choose. The companion of agency is always accountability. We are individually responsible for the choices we make.”

Tiffany Porter talks about her experience as a parent of a transgender child and the impact that has had on her family and herself. She was able to move from feeling "bereft" and "cheated" to grateful and full of love.
The 3 practices are:
I’ll be unusually interested in others
I’ll stay in the room with difference and
I’ll stop comparing my best to your worst.
Doctrine & Covenants 123:17
"let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."

In the middle of the continuum, away from shame and blame, we find kindness and accountability. The middle is where the truth lies.
Quotes from Pr. Russell Nelson’s talk “Peacemakers Needed”
“Building bridges of understanding will require much of you.”
“Contention drives away the Spirit, every time. Contention reinforces the false notion that confrontation is the way to resolve differences, but it never is. Contention is a choice. Peacemaking is a choice.”
“Charity is the antidote to contention. Charity is the spiritual gift that helps us cast off the natural man, who is selfish, defensive, prideful, and jealous. Charity is the principal characteristic of a true follower of Jesus Christ. Charity defines a peacemaker. . . One of the best ways we can honor the Savior is to become a peacemaker.”
Peacemakers don’t blame other people. Peacemakers don’t simmer in shame.
Dr. Becky Kennedy, an expert in child development, said,
"You are still a good person even when you struggle."

Shame stories:
I should have known this about my child already.
I should have stood up for my child with ward leaders.
I should have taught my child better to respect ward leaders.
I should have confronted my child about their behavior or belief.
I should not have confronted my child about their behavior or belief.
I should have handled my child’s situation the way my neighbor handled theirs.
I should have listened better when my child told me about their changing faith.
I should have taught my child better so their faith would be stronger.
In one way or another, all of these stories boil down to the idea that “I am a bad mom. Things would be better if I had done it differently.”
Better stories:
“I’m so glad I know more about my child now. It helps me understand them better so I can be more supportive while they figure out how they want to live their life.”
“I wish I had been a better advocate for my child in the past. I can make a list of ways I can advocate for them now, and how I can be an influence for good for people in similar situations.”
“I choose to believe people mean well and are doing the best that they can. I am going to offer that grace to my leaders as I decide how best to interact with them. I am also going to offer that grace to my children.”
“My child gets to choose their beliefs.”
“I can decide when it’s appropriate to share my view.”
“Every situation is unique. I can learn from others and decide what’s best for my relationships.”
“I did the best I could at the time. When we know better, we do better. I am learning to listen better.”
“I taught my child as best I could. They were always meant to make their own choices.”
Can you hear how these stories have more compassion? They don’t ignore accountability. They also don’t ignore grace and growth. Learn how to tell yourself better stories.
Jesus loves me, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m trying to be like Jesus.
