Principle 7-Don't be in a hurry!

I think the most important thing we can do for our children is to avoid being in a hurry.

Benefits of not being in a hurry:
-able to talk things out
-spend more time with them
-able to focus and really listen when they speak
-able to handle tantrums and arguments calmer and more effectively
-Enjoy childhood while it lasts

Christ always taught that one should serve those around him. Even if he was traveling somewhere he always stopped to help out someone in need. Also, Jesus loves children. He spent hours and hours blessing the children one by one. He cared about their individual needs. If we are to do as Jesus did, we must take the time to love our children. (3 Nephi 17:21)
