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.”

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

Some questions to ask yourself:

• What can I actually control here?
• Why do I sometimes act like I can control things that are out of my control?
• Do I want to keep doing that?
• Why don’t I want them to see it differently than I see it?

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."
