Listening to Children


 “One of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don’t always ask, that they aren’t always teachable, that they won’t always listen. And often we have to take them in their terms, at their times, and not always on our terms, and our times. . . . If they find they can trust us with their trivial questions, they may later trust us with the more weighty ones.”

Richard L. Evans, “The Spoken Word,” Ensign, May 1971, 12.
