Until the time a child turns 8, teaching is usually focused on baptism: its importance, its symbolism, its purpose. But what happens between 8 and 12? Are the 12-year-olds of the church prepared to enter the temple and do baptisms for the dead? Do they understand the sacredness of the place and the reverent respect it deserves? By making the temple a familiar and well-loved part of your child’s growing years, and by preparing even more after baptism, your child can have a greater appreciation for and be better prepared to enter the sacred house of the Lord. This was inspired by a recent ldschurchnews article by the Primary general presidency.
