@jaromjordan The highest compliment he could have paid to the BYU community and school teachers and staff! Why, because this is exactly what we want kids to experience on our unique campus. He came prepared and ready to learn from everyone.
The Saturday morning session of general conference will be a unique experience for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many of whom have not had the opportunity to sustain a new prophet in a solemn assembly.

Parenting advice from @OaksDallinH, nonagenarian and father of six.

- Teach children their eternal purpose and family destiny.
- Be the example. Parents and caregivers are the most powerful teachers.
- Use the family to teach kindness, forgiveness, self-control, education, and honest work.
- Don’t let home become a “boardinghouse.” Stay involved in your children’s daily lives.
- Don’t follow cultural trends that weaken marriage and family life.
- If your family isn’t traditional, keep teaching and pressing on anyway.
- Let grandparents and extended family help fill family gaps.
- Love and be patient with family members who struggle or believe differently.
- Remember that repentance and growth don’t end with mortality.
- Model family life after Jesus Christ’s self-sacrifice and service.

- Hold family reunions and remember ancestors.
- Teach practical skills at home, including work in the yard and home.
- Encourage learning languages for service and life.
- Counsel together as a family.
- Pray together night and morning.
- Worship together.
- Share family stories, traditions, and sacred experiences.
- Remember that what children really want for dinner is time with you.
- If there’s “no time,” turn technology off.

It is never too early to help a child grow their testimony in Jesus Christ. Young children are often more sensitive to the Spirit than we realize.
Daily family prayer, family scripture study, and sharing your testimony in sacrament meeting are easier and more effective when children are young.
When they are older, they will remember the hymns they sang with you. Even more than recalling music, they will remember the words of scripture and testimony.
The Holy Ghost can bring all things to their remembrance, but the words of scriptures and hymns will last the longest. When trials come, those memories will be a source of strength throughout their life.
Answer: it helps girls. It tells girls they have the right to things of their own. It tells girls they have the right to say 'no'. It reminds girls that the desires of boys do not supersede their feelings, their rights, their discomfort or their safety.
