Episode notes
Full House Scene That Sparked Reflection
- Valerie recounts the Full House B-plot where Michelle frustrates her toddler cousins and they refuse to forgive her because they "don't know what forgiveness means."
- The scene ends with Michelle explaining forgiveness simply and the cousins reconciling, which inspired Valerie's parenting reflection.
Teach The Why Behind Rituals
- Teach children the meaning behind religious practices instead of only enforcing the routine.
- Use simple explanations and small prompts like asking who wants to thank Heavenly Father to attach purpose to actions.
Doctrine Changes Behavior Faster
- President Boyd K. Packer's quote highlights that understanding doctrine drives behavior change more than behavior-focused training.
- Valerie uses this to argue that teaching true doctrine early shifts attitudes and lasting habits.
