Helping bishops encourage parents in creating vision boards at home

10 January 2020

Bishops and Branch Presidents…

As children and youth begin to identify goals as part of the new initiative, you may want to encourage parents to help their children create a vision board. 

It can be as simple as folding a blank 8.5x11 sheet of paper into quadrants and inviting the child to use marking pens to “decorate” each quadrant that speaks to his or her goals. A more ambitious approach, of course, is using poster board and cutting out pictures in magazines.

I recently saw the attached photos of a nephew’s daughters (not in our stake) during their FHE activity and thought you might want to share with parents in helping them recognize there’s something they can do right now to get the family engaged in the Church's new Children and Youth Initiative. Children can then stick their vision board on a bedroom wall as a constant reminder of their goals.

Parents, leaders and families are also encouraged to create vision boards. Families, classes and quorum members can visit together and create vision boards for their family, class or quorum.

Thank you for encouraging everyone on ways to embrace this wonderful new initiative to help strengthen the rising generation as President Nelson has asked us to do.

Please feel free to share this with others.

President Lewis
