Amazing pod cast! Thank you Dr Lili De Hoyos Anderson for all your council on raising our children ! You hit it on the nail. Everyone needs to hear this.❤
Dr Lili Anderson this was WONDERFUL! My husband and I are parents of 4 and enjoyed every minute of your parenting discourse. We bought the book you refer to here and have shared this podcast with many friends that are parents. The moment you said, "Daniel and his friends were Zion youth in Babylon, and SO ARE OUR YOUTH TODAY. " The spirit testified so strongly that this is true and the Old Testament has so many great stories they apply to us (also I shared that phrase with my Sunday school class today).
"The product of parenting is not the child, it's the parent." I love the idea that learning to be a good parent is a process of becoming more like God.
Sometimes, I listen to podcasts as I clean. Last night, I was scrolling through my Follow Him subscription, because I had already listened to this week's lesson., when the 2nd half of the Daniel 1-7 lesson jumped out at me. I listened and and my heart opened and let go of pain I've been carrying for quite a while. I do trust my Father in Heaven, but I have been miserable over my children's choices. Now, I can practice being joyful even while holding onto my children with prayer and love. Thank you for having this available so I could hear the whispering of the Spirit when I was more ready to receive it.
THANK YOU for letting Dr. Anderson run with the parenting message at the end. This message, along with everyone else taught today, will give hope and strength to so many parents in the trenches! My cup runneth over.
My Dad recommended my husband and I listen to the last 40 minutes or so together. Wow. Such powerful thoughts from Dr. Anderson. I feel inspired and ready to set some firm appropriate boundaries in my home. Truly wonderful.
I teach Adult Sunday School. I prepare my lesson using the scriptures, the manual and books from various authors. Then, I watch your podcast and I always learn more! With that said, I am a grandmother raising a now teen grandchild. I cannot tell you how much this broadcast opened my eyes! I've been struggling dealing with how different things seem to be now. Now I see clearly and understand. This was an answer to many prayers. Thank you so much!❤
All of my four children have left the church. I agonize over this every single day. My husband and I are both return missionaries and strive daily to stay on the covenant path. Part 2 of this broadcast made me feel the spirit so profoundly. I’m just crying as I type this. Thank you Dr Anderson. I love you. I hope you read this. ❤
This video is the most helpful I have ever heard about how to parent and how to deal with wayward children. I am sharing it with my whole married family. Thanks so very much to Dr Anderson!!!!!
What a great podcast, Dr. Anderson's enthusiasm for and knowledge of the gospel is inspiring. I especially appreciated Part 2 on parenting. Such important and timely principles, thank you!
I’m a graduate of BYU; my degree is Human Development in Family Life. As a mother, I have read parenting books and taken classes… this, hands down, is THE BEST parenting presentation I’ve ever seen/heard. Thank you!!
I am overwhelmed with this Episode, particularly, Part 2. Dr Anderson's discussion of parenting and the glorious Doctrine that supports His plan. Thank you from the very depths of my heart for your inspired, passionate, and comforting discussion supporting parents that have already had children stray off the 'path." We are blessed with strong and faithful 4-children and 13-grandchildren...3 of whom have begun to stray. We have been praying for each of them, by name, but wonder what else we can do and if we’ve not done enough. You, Dr Anderson, have made a significant difference in my life! THANK YOU!
Incredible episode! Sis. Anderson is amazing!! I just sent this episode to all of of children raising my precious grandchildren!!!! We have taught this but are grateful for a second witness!!! Thank you for these inspired teachings!!
Absolutely my favorite episode yet. I have learned more than I could have imagined and felt the Spirit so strongly. Thank Sister Anderson, Brother Bytheway, and Brother Smith. You are doing a Heavenly work.
I always love episodes with Dr Lili Anderson because she is so passionate about gospel principles and is with discuss very touchy subjects with such wisdom. I think I increased the view ship by 20+ because I relistened to that episode many times. I wanted to add that the issues around permissive parenting are mirrored by that in public schools where students have far more power than students. There is outward disrespect for teachers. This moves into malls where teens play hide and seek endangering other shoppers and destroying property. I agree with Dr Anderson that the young people likely don’t have a high level of self worth and seeking to find inner value from their peers.
She is so wonderful to listen to. You have so many wonderful guests, but She is my favorite! I always feel so much of God's love when she speaks the truths of His gospel. Thank you for inviting her. What a blessing!
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for this episode. This so much reminds me of my own mom and the more I am grateful for her rules that helps me to really obey. My dad passed away when I was 9 so mom has to do all. Me and my husband really need to hear this today. Thank you, thank you and thank you.
Thank you so much for this podcast. This was a message I needed to hear. I am also a grandmother who has found myself raising 2 of my grandchildren and also have some wayward children. Thank you so much for giving me hope and a determination to become a better version of me.
I absolutely love this podcast and the eternal insights I gain from watching it each week. However, I have never felt as immediately infused with wisdom and insight about what I can do right now as I have listening to this episode. As a parent and grandparent, you have given me things to ponder and motivation to try harder - to “upgrade” in some areas. Thank you!
Wowee!! I have been spiritually fed today! Sister Anderson has preached such a marvelous sermon! I needed to hear her! Loud and clear I heard TRUST HIM! It was so wonderful. I especially loved the last part of her message for parents who have children who have gone astray. I have printed out the course notes to reread those COMFORTING words from the prophets on this subject. We feel so comforted. Thank you! Great podcast!!!
Oh thank you so much, I appreciated Dr Anderson’s teaching for parents..I cried tears of joy and relief as I was thinking a lot more depended on me as a mother, grandmother and great grandmother in regards to my wayward children. It is my grandchildren who are not being taught in God’s way that is so heartbreaking but God knows!
♥️ Love, love, love this. Ask the mom of a couple of wandering sheep, I didn't realize how very much I needed to hear these truths about parenting. Thank you!
I listen every week as I study to teach my primary class, often I listen multiple times. This time I will be re-listening to better parent my children.
This was certainly spiritually invigorating and enlightening. Thanks for providing these great teachings to us the less learned. Wow! A lot to ponder about and be grateful for 🙏💕
Thanks for having Lili on the show! Her insights on parenting and helping our children to learn how to respect and trust adults does transfer to Godly love and trust. I've seen it over and over in my life. She is so brave to say these things and so many people are waiting to bash and kick against this. Too often parents talk about and ridicule other adults, teachers, police officers etc. in front of their children that leads to their disrespect and distrust. Such important concepts in these times! ❤
Lili Anderson should be on prescription: she is AAA***!!! Of all your brilliant, brilliant guests (and they really are, every single one) Lili Anderson - for me - shines the brightest light on living the gospel. This whole episode has been enlightening as ever, but the last section about parenting both blew me away and confirmed & clarified/brought together many things I've read, heard and worked out in my own internal struggles. Thank you. Please All carry on being who you are 💛💛💛
Thank you so much for allowing your presenters to go beyond the assigned reading to help us gain broader understanding and applications. Especially thank you for allowing them to share the deeper thoughts, feelings, and insights that the themes of the week's readings have brought to them. It resonates and enriches. Again, THANK YOU!!!
All I can say is THANK YOU for the portion on parenting (especially as it relates to adult or young adult children)!!!! I can’t wait for my husband to get home from work so I can share this with him!!
Sis Anderson I just met with a counsellor on this topic and how to support child with faulty thinking and fixed mind set. The topic for me was how to navigate a balance in parenting until this child is willing to recognize and do the work to fix these things. She had zero suggestions for me, The counsel I recieved from you in this presentation has been priceless!
Thank you!! This came at the best time for me. I am feeling validated, inspired to be better, and just uplifted. I love this podcast SO MUCH and am so glad I listened to this one about Daniel today. Perfect timing.
This episode is one of my very very favorites, I’m SO GRATEFUL that you included that last chunk of Lili teaching gospel-supported truths about how to raise children in todays culture (in the U.S. because I can’t speak to other cultures around the world). Pulling in the Baumrind model to overlay that with how the Lord parents us was incredibly powerful and visually gives me something to take away from this. This may not be for everyone, depending on what stage of life you are in, but for me a new mom trying to figure out the right balance of demands and warmth responsiveness, this was soo valuable. I love how it was connected to the virtue and integrity of those young Hebrew young men (Daniel and the other 3) who were so individually committed to God, without a parent there chiding them to keep the commandments. This parenting section gave us tools to work towards raising our children to be more like Daniel +3. The very last section about Eternal Promises to parents was the perfect icing on top to let us know that Gods plan includes built in fail-safes that will bless our families if WE keep OUR OWN covenants. Soo powerful, thank you!!!
We LOVE your podcast! A necessary faith-builder. Want to comment on Dr Anderson's parenting advice - thank you for including this - the GOLD STANDARD of parenting advice. I've passed it along. Info every parent needs! Sorensen Family - Hank - John - and all your guests - thank you from so many. We are listening, learning and are grateful.
Wow!!! So far perhaps the most intense guest that I have seen so far. Very strong interesting food for thought about parenting. I especially liked the part toward the end of her parenting talk that Heavenly Father is Generous …She gave allot on parenting more intensely perhaps more than her commentary on Daniel…allot to process.
Umm wow!!! Why in the world am I worrying so much about my 15-year-old son not enjoying reading the scriptures?! Why do I think "he's going to be inactive!" when he is only in the second act? He has until the spirit world! Thank you for pointing that out! I have taken a deep breath of the fresh air!
I will copy the notes from this podcast-so rich in counsel for parents and children. Sister Anderson’s remarks remind me of John Rosemond-a Christian psychologist, and well-known author and speaker. He speaks against the trend of allowing children to be in charge of families, and his words ring true. He also gives very down-to-earth parenting advice to people with questions through his syndicated column. I would guess that the precepts of a current trend called “Gentle Parenting” run totally against true principles. I watched a mom, not long ago, ask her child for permission to do almost anything while she was giving a presentation. At the time, I thought, “It’s dangerous to have a child think he/she is in control of the universe.” Sister Anderson just reaffirmed that for me.
Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. It’s so inspiring. And can I just say that when I read my scriptures I do it with the intent to better parent my children. I am so grateful for Dr. Anderson’s research and experience in this topic and, oh boy how much I needed to hear it. It answered so many prayers. So thank you a million times for putting the effort and helping all of us who are trying our best to get it right. ❤️
This was so inspiring to hear. Our six children are raised and they are all good and wonderful people. I remember my husband "grounding" our children, which meant "I" had to be the one to see that the edict was followed. Paying the price is a sacrifice. I learned to give my children the opportunity to work their way out of their temporary bondage. I would work with them to clean up the house and they were willing to do it. We had our problems, but we would turn to prayer and ask how to react to some very interesting dilemmas. The Lord always answered those prayers and it was such a blessing. Thank you for these wonderful podcasts.
Thank you both so much and your wonderful guests for all your time, sacrifice, and efforts to share your gospel knowledge, insights, and testimonies with me and thousands every week. I never miss your videos. You continually teach and enlighten me and bring the Spirit into my home and heart. I pray for you daily and am so grateful I have been blessed to immerse myself in the scriptures these last 3 years since my dear husband’s death.❤
Lili has once again been an amazing guest. Her ability to share the outstanding Truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ inspirers all that take the time to listen. ❤
We struggle with a couple of our children and Sis. de Hoyos gave us BREAKTHROUGH information on how to feel about them in their exit from the Church. THANK YOU! I'm actually breathing again today. Tell Chris 'hello'. We grew up together.
Thank you so much for this. I have loved this episode. Not only learning about Daniel, but being given hope for my children who have chosen a different path. Just WOW!
We’ll done … your podcast are always enlightening, but this one is one of the best. Hard to be “off track” when teaching solid gospel principles and applying them to challenged of our day.
Thank you for the parenting teachings. I was wondering how the parents of Daniel and his three friends must have taught them to live in worldly Babylon and be sin resistant. That’s our society and environment today. No wonder Pres. Nelson counseled us to overcome the world and parents have an important role. Thank you.
I'm glad you went the route you did. I intend to share this with so many parents. The research and data you shared, as well as references from leaders, are what we need to know and implement in order to raise children to be the Daniels of this time and age. Thank you for the insights you shared. I felt the Spirit confirm the truths shared.
BOOM! That was a serious download! Thank you for letting Dr. Anderson give us all of that--full speed! She had a lot to say, and I needed to hear it. Apr 1996: Elder Neal Maxwell "I have no hesitancy in stating that, unless checked, permissiveness-at the end of its journey-will cause humanity to stare in mute disbelief at its awful consequences."
This was so amazing. I have about a million questions I could ask Sis Anderson right now. But I learned a lot and feel motivated to be a better person. Thank you very much.
Great parenting advice! I just wouldn't let my kids play with their toys if they wouldn't clean them up.Or would threaten to donate themif they wouldn't take care of them. Also, I avoided setting consequences for them that would be a punishment for me! Ha ha
THANK YOU DR ANDERSON. Parenting is soooooo hard in the latter day's. We needed this so much!! Do you have a parenting podcast or an active practice families can see you professionally?
Culturally speaking, it varies. It’s tough for the American families. We are taught loyalty and respect in the Mexican parenting. And we love our family at the same time. Not in all cases. But overall nobody is perfect
Thank you so much. I also have loved the concept that The Lord plays the long game. It started even before we were born. For one thing, I'm sure, it was know that obedience to Gospel principles and excepting The Savior and forgiven and repentance were going to be very important parts of being able to come back home to Heaven. Even before we were born we knew that Jesus Christ was our Savior. There was a choice to be made, we had to stand up for our choice. We believed in our choice, we could see the difference and we trusted The Lord and our Heavenly Father's plan. We were able to come to the earth because we trusted our Heavenly Father's plan - it was right & it was good. It can take a long time - agency is so important - I'm thankful that The Lord is so patient. There will be no pickpockets in Heaven, because we need to choose no to be that way. That's why Heaven is Heavenly - because of the choices people make. Look how long it took for the children of Israel to come into the promised land. And how long it has taken for the Restoration of the Gospel. I am so grateful that The Lord gives people time to get understanding. Some of us have Pioneer ancestors, so 5 or more generations now in The Gospel. Yet on the other side of our family it may be 2 or less - yet the newer members may actually have a better understanding of Spiritual things than those who have been in The Gospel longer. The ability to be in the world but not of it, is so important. Some family traditions are just so strong that even after several generations, some in the family still decide to use the same methods for raising their own life's as their ancestors used before their family was converted to The Gospel. When that happens the children are dealing with similar problems to their ancient ancestors. So that sometimes - 1 of a family, 2 of a city can happen amongst Church members. However long, how many generations can go by before a family no longer uses traditions that depends on having to make one of their children into a scapegoat and or black sheep. I hope that kind of thing is not happening anymore, The truth of The Gospel is far better in every way.
Parenting discourses especially impromptu or rather unexpected ones can be hard because it causes such deep reflection into such a personal and sometimes sensative area. I welcome this self reflection. My wife and I had such different and conflicting parenting ideas. We found "Love and Logic" which really helped us on our way. When I renew my parenting pursuits I turn to the gospel and practical guides like "Love and Logic"
I'm from the Philippines, I just recently heard that brother Bytheway was assigned in Baguio Mission, I also served there 2018-2020 and just thought that it was cool. I love your podcasts so much! Thank you for this wonderful episode!
Amazing pod cast! Thank you Dr Lili De Hoyos Anderson for all your council on raising our children ! You hit it on the nail. Everyone needs to hear this.❤
Just love sister Anderson. She is so on the ball with all her comments. Thank you.

I love learning about parenting through the gospel teachings thank you 😊
I love listening to Dr. Anderson! Such a strong spirit and testimony! And passion for the Lord and His Gospel! Thanks to each one of you!

I am also a great grandmother raising my teen grandchild. These podcasts are a great help
All of my four children have left the church. I agonize over this every single day. My husband and I are both return missionaries and strive daily to stay on the covenant path. Part 2 of this broadcast made me feel the spirit so profoundly. I’m just crying as I type this. Thank you Dr Anderson. I love you. I hope you read this. ❤
We are all with you, sister. We all share your agony about our children.
Wow!!!! Best parenting advice I’ve ever seen. Thank you thank you for spending the time to discuss this. I adore Dr. Lulu Anderson.
This video is the most helpful I have ever heard about how to parent and how to deal with wayward children. I am sharing it with my whole married family. Thanks so very much to Dr Anderson!!!!!
I 💯 % agree with you Christy!

The subject of parenting could be its own podcast....maybe it is! Either way, its phenomenal and everyone should be listening and taking notes.

How do you print this out? I need to read this often. Thank you.

Thanks for bringing Dr Anderson on. What a firehose of advice! Bring her back again :)
This was certainly spiritually invigorating and enlightening. Thanks for providing these great teachings to us the less learned. Wow! A lot to ponder about and be grateful for 🙏💕

Yes Please!! Great idea! I would love to forward just the last section on parenting to my family.
BEST PODCAST EEEEVVVVEEERRR!!! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. It’s so inspiring. And can I just say that when I read my scriptures I do it with the intent to better parent my children. I am so grateful for Dr. Anderson’s research and experience in this topic and, oh boy how much I needed to hear it. It answered so many prayers. So thank you a million times for putting the effort and helping all of us who are trying our best to get it right. ❤️
I loved Sis Andersons practical way to liken the scriptures to ourselves!!!! Thank you so much!!
This was so inspiring to hear. Our six children are raised and they are all good and wonderful people. I remember my husband "grounding" our children, which meant "I" had to be the one to see that the edict was followed. Paying the price is a sacrifice. I learned to give my children the opportunity to work their way out of their temporary bondage. I would work with them to clean up the house and they were willing to do it.

I never miss your videos. You continually teach and enlighten me and bring the Spirit into my home and heart. I pray for you daily and am so grateful I have been blessed to immerse myself in the scriptures these last 3 years since my dear husband’s death.❤
Lili has once again been an amazing guest. Her ability to share the outstanding Truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ inspirers all that take the time to listen. ❤
We struggle with a couple of our children and Sis. de Hoyos gave us BREAKTHROUGH information on how to feel about them in their exit from the Church. THANK YOU! I'm actually breathing again today. Tell Chris 'hello'. We grew up together.
Wow!! Love Sister Anderson and her spunky tell it like it was and is style. Thank you.
I could listen all day !! MAGNIFICENT TRUTHS!! Thank you
Thank you so much for the words of hope and quotes from prophets helping me to trust in God's goodness in behalf of my children. ❤️
This episode is just what I needed to hear as a mom of 5 children. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this. I have loved this episode. Not only learning about Daniel, but being given hope for my children who have chosen a different path. Just WOW!
We’ll done … your podcast are always enlightening, but this one is one of the best. Hard to be “off track” when teaching solid gospel principles and applying them to challenged of our day.
So powerful! Wow!! I needed this!
This an amazing episode! I can put into words how much this fed my soul today❤
I love this week just like the rest!!! So grateful for this podcast!!! And loved the parenting lesson!!! So good!!
Wow ! Just Wow ! Thanks 🥹
Love Lili’s insights and passion! I had her as a professor at BYU and learned so much from her!!
This was a great podcast! Dr. Lili De Hoyos Anderson was shared such wonderful and practical insights. I'd love to learn more from her.
Thank you for the parenting teachings. I was wondering how the parents of Daniel and his three friends must have taught them to live in worldly Babylon and be sin resistant. That’s our society and environment today. No wonder Pres. Nelson counseled us to overcome the world and parents have an important role. Thank you.
Wow I have been so touched and have been taught so much today thank you all three of you💕
I'm glad you went the route you did. I intend to share this with so many parents. The research and data you shared, as well as references from leaders, are what we need to know and implement in order to raise children to be the Daniels of this time and age. Thank you for the insights you shared. I felt the Spirit confirm the truths shared.
Agreed!!!!
Sent out to all my kids who are parents
BOOM! That was a serious download! Thank you for letting Dr. Anderson give us all of that--full speed! She had a lot to say, and I needed to hear it. Apr 1996: Elder Neal Maxwell "I have no hesitancy in stating that, unless checked, permissiveness-at the end of its journey-will cause humanity to stare in mute disbelief at its awful consequences."
Such great insights! I loved this episode.
I am so grateful for your podcast. It is so healing.
Thank you so much ❤
Absolutely amazing
This was so amazing. I have about a million questions I could ask Sis Anderson right now. But I learned a lot and feel motivated to be a better person. Thank you very much.
Dr.Lili....you have touched my soul and given me so MUCH hope. Thank You.❤️
It would not hurt my feelings one bit if you were to make her your second co-host. I could listen to Lili every single week to be edified and love it!
Great parenting advice! I just wouldn't let my kids play with their toys if they wouldn't clean them up.Or would threaten to donate themif they wouldn't take care of them. Also, I avoided setting consequences for them that would be a punishment for me! Ha ha
So perfectly perfect much needed podcast in so many ways 💞
Awesome Job, brothers and sister! Thank you for your inspired and inspiring words!
THANK YOU DR ANDERSON. Parenting is soooooo hard in the latter day's. We needed this so much!! Do you have a parenting podcast or an active practice families can see you professionally?
This is a wonderful presentation.
I wish I could have heard this as a teenager, and before and while I had children at home. Thank so much.
Excellent!! Thank you for sharing such a valuable message. So appreciated.
Culturally speaking, it varies. It’s tough for the American families. We are taught loyalty and respect in the Mexican parenting. And we love our family at the same time. Not in all cases. But overall nobody is perfect
Thank you so much. I also have loved the concept that The Lord plays the long game. It started even before we were born. For one thing, I'm sure, it was know that obedience to Gospel principles and excepting The Savior
and forgiven and repentance were going to be very important parts of being able to come back home to Heaven. Even before we were born we knew that Jesus Christ was our Savior. There was a choice to be made, we had to stand up for our choice. We believed in our choice, we could see the difference and we trusted The Lord and our Heavenly Father's plan.
We were able to come to the earth because we trusted our Heavenly Father's plan - it was right & it was good. It can take a long time - agency is so important - I'm thankful that The Lord is so patient. There will be no pickpockets in Heaven, because we need to choose no to be that way. That's why Heaven is Heavenly - because of the choices people make.
Look how long it took for the children of Israel to come into the promised land. And how long it has taken for the Restoration of the Gospel. I am so grateful that The Lord gives people time to get understanding. Some of us have Pioneer ancestors, so 5 or more generations now in The Gospel. Yet on the other side of our family it may be 2 or less - yet the newer members may actually have a better understanding of Spiritual things than those who have been in The Gospel longer.
The ability to be in the world but not of it, is so important. Some family traditions are just so strong that even after several generations, some in the family still decide to use the same methods for raising their own life's as their ancestors used before their family was converted to The Gospel.
When that happens the children are dealing with similar problems to their ancient ancestors. So that sometimes - 1 of a family, 2 of a city can happen amongst Church members. However long, how many generations can go by before a family no longer uses traditions that
depends on having to make one of their children into a scapegoat and or black sheep. I hope that kind of thing is not happening anymore, The truth of The Gospel is far better in every way.
Thank you again for Hank, John and doctors Anderson for this beautiful episode.
Parenting discourses especially impromptu or rather unexpected ones can be hard because it causes such deep reflection into such a personal and sometimes sensative area.
I welcome this self reflection. My wife and I had such different and conflicting parenting ideas. We found "Love and Logic" which really helped us on our way. When I renew my parenting pursuits I turn to the gospel and practical guides like "Love and Logic"
Thank you for this! ❤️❤️
Amazing episode! ❤️
Loved her parenting tips. Great advice. Reminds me of my parenting BIBLE: 123 Magic.
This episode was sooooo interesting and helpful - thank you so much.
Amazing! Thank you!
I'm from the Philippines, I just recently heard that brother Bytheway was assigned in Baguio Mission, I also served there 2018-2020 and just thought that it was cool. I love your podcasts so much! Thank you for this wonderful episode!
Would love to see the unedited version of this! ❤🎉
