Quote preview background for Ezra Taft Benson
It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men__ theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother__ influence. Too often the pressure for popularity, on children and teens, places an economic burden on the income of the father, so mother feels she must go to work to satisfy her children__ needs. That decision can be most shortsighted. It is mother__ influence during the crucial formative years that forms a child__ basic character. Home is the place where a child learns faith, feels love, and thereby learns from mother__ loving example to choose righteousness. How vital are mother__ influence and teaching in the home__nd how apparent when neglected!
