Just after the first two sessions of this General Conference, one dominant theme is obvious: we all need to be better, more involved parents. This was the overarching idea throughout fully five of the thirteen talks given today: those by President Packer (responsibility of fathers to be priesthood leaders in the home), Elder Ballard (counsel to and responsibilities of mothers and daughters), President Eyring (counsel for raising children with the Spirit), Elder Perry (importance of gospel teaching in the home), and Elder Bednar (teaching children to recognize and act on spiritual warnings).
If this Conference is as consistent as the last one, we can expect to see this theme further developed tomorrow.
