August-Developing Talents

This month as we get ready for school to start again, it's a great time to make goals and plans for the coming school year. In developing talents it says to read D&C 88:118, then discuss what it means to seek learning, even by study and also by faith. Improve your personal study habits by doing things such as learning how to choose and read good books or being prepared for school each day. Sitting down with your child and helping them plan a way to feel prepared for the new school year, and having a study plan in place. Another one in the same category is to learn and practice good nutrition, good health, and good grooming, including modest dress. As you go school shopping and planning lunches for school it's a great time to have a talk with your child about whats important to them, and the appearance they want to put forward about who they are and what they stand for.
