LDS Richard Eyre is a best selling author along with his wife Linda, parents of 9 children. They have a website for their values education business www.valuesparenting.com.
"I (Richard) still have a special letter, penned to me by my father shortly before his death more than 40 years ago while I was just a small boy. It is a letter of advice and council from a dying father to his young son, a kind of "legacy letter." One of the things it says is this: "The greatest thought that Christ left on earth is Love. It surpasses everything else. If a person practices love, then everything else takes care of itself."
We have thought a great deal about those words, and about the surpassing virtue and value of love. We believe it is the most natural and in many ways the most important value of all. Furthermore, it is a value that children learn easily and naturally, especially when their family is an environment of love. Kids deserve not only to experience and feel love around them, but they also deserve to learn of love, to understand different kinds of love, and to be praised for their own giving and sharing of love."
