Dear Parents,

Every child should be protected and cared for. Jesus set an example of this in the Book of Mormon, blessing and praying for each child (see pages F20–23). How can we bless and protect the children we know? Here are some ideas:

• We can protect them physically and teach them to respect other people’s bodies (pages F12–13).

• We can help protect them spiritually by encouraging them to take the sacrament (pages F2–3).

• We can teach them to ask for help when they need it (pages F14–15).

You could pick one of these messages to read together as a family. Make sure your children know how much they are loved!

We love you,

The Friend
