Successful Parenting 3

The 3rd principle is Repentance. The book states: “Parents should acknowledge, confess, and forsake sins so that they can enjoy the guiding influence of the Holy Ghost. They can help their children understand and apply these principles in their lives.” The book referred to 3 Nephi 9:22 which says: “Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.” How do children learn of repentance, when they see their parents and those around them say they are wrong and ask for forgiveness. The only person who ever lived on this earth that was totally without sin was Jesus, when we are wrong instead of trying to hide our wrongs if we come out and say we are wrong and ask for forgiveness so that our children see that even we make mistakes? And show them how to ask for forgiveness from those that we wrong and from our Lord.
