381. A Few Kind Words Changed Everything -- an article for mothers who have noisy small children in Church!
This article came from LDS Living, but was originally on lds.org. I can relate to it very well, as we had 9 children, over 18 years, and taking them to Church was a major challenge, even finding shoes, etc. I remember one lady in our ward during that time came to me after, with ideas on how to keep my children more quiet. The interesting thing is that she didn't have any children of her own! She was a step mother to one child. I'm sure any mother of small children will understand and relate to this article. I have one friend, a lady who has never married, but every Sunday she seeks out someone with several children, with usually a baby. She offers to take one and always manages to get them quieted, and to sleep. That I'm sure would be the best way to feel about some dear mothers who are trying hard to take their children to Church, and have a hard time keeping them quiet. I relate!
