Speaking to Children
“Helaman’s sons were persecuted and put in prison. … Then came a voice. …
“‘… It was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul.’ [Helaman 5:30.]
“We can learn from that voice from heaven. It was not loud, scolding, or demeaning; it was a still voice of perfect mildness, giving firm direction while giving hope.
“How we speak to our children and the words we use can encourage and uplift them. … They come to this earth ready to listen.”
Rosemary M. Wixom, Primary general president, “The Words We Speak,” Ensign, May 2013, 81.
