"We can teach even a child to understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Begin early. We have the greatest opportunity with the young. The best time to teach is early, while children are still immune to the temptations of their mortal enemy and long before the words of truth may be harder for them to hear in the noise of their personal struggles. For every hour the power of doctrine is introduced into a child's life, there may be hundreds of hours of messages and images denying or ignoring the saving truths. The question should not be whether we are too tired to prepare to teach doctrine or whether it would be better to draw a child closer by just having fun or whether the child is beginning to think that we preach too much. The question must be, 'with so little time and so few opportunities, what words of doctrine from me will fortify them against the attacks on their faith which are sure to come?' The words you speak today may be the ones they remember. And today will soon be gone." Pres. Henry B. Eyring, April 2009 Ensign, Begin Early This gave me goosebumps. So many people think we brainwash our children by "pounding the gospel into them" but this is the real reason I teach my children the gospel.
