My eight-year-old daughter Lily taught our FHE lesson tonight. She used this article from the October 2015 Friend magazine, and we had a good discussion about bullying vs. kindness. We also watched this short video about bullying from the Mormon Channel.
We ended the lesson with a few thoughts/quotes/scriptures for the week:
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you…By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:34-35).
Remember the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do to you!
Elder Dallin H. Oaks (as cited in the Friend magazine)
We should all follow the gospel teachings to love our neighbors.
We should love all people, be good listeners, and show respect for what others believe.
We should avoid bullying, insulting, or saying things that might hurt others.
We should especially be kind to our family members.
