"Brothers and sisters, protecting children means that we provide an environment
that invites the Spirit into their lives and validates it in their hearts. That
automatically eliminates any form of indifference, neglect, abuse, violence, or
exploitation.
"And while conditions of depravity are more serious, we also protect children
from other detrimental conditions, such as expectations that are too high or too
low, overindulgence, over scheduling, and self-centeredness. Either extreme
dulls a child's ability to identify, trust, and be guided by the Holy Ghost.
"Children are open to gospel truths more than at any other time, and protected
childhood is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to teach and strengthen
children to choose the right." - Margaret S. Lifferth, "Behold
Your Little Ones," Ensign, November 2006
