Elder Russell M. Nelson, as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said in 2001, ” Not only are parents to cling to the word of the Lord, but they have a divine mandate to teach it to their children. Scriptural direction is very clear: “Inasmuch as parents have children in Zion . . . that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the Living God, and of baptism and the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands when eight years old, the sin be upon the head of the parents” (Doctrine and Covenants 68:25; emphasis added).

That commandment places responsibility  and accountability for teaching of children squarely upon the shoulders of the parents. The proclamation to the world regarding the family warns that individuals “who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God.” “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” Ensign, November 2010). Today I solemnly reaffirm that reality.

In discharging these duties, we need both the Church and the family. And the family is the fundamental unit of the Church.(“‘Set in Order Thy House,'” Ensign, November 2001) (Also from ‘Teachings of Russell M. Nelson’ 2018 Deseret Book p. 112)
