Dr. Glenn J. Doman, noted author and medical authority,
wrote: “The newborn child is almost an exact duplicate of an empty computer,
although superior to such a computer in almost every way. What is placed in the
child’s mind during the first eight years of life is probably there to stay. If
you put misinformation into his mind during this period, it is extremely
difficult to erase it.” Dr. Doman added that the most receptive age in human
life is that of two or three years. I like this thought: “Your mind is a
cupboard, and you stock the shelves.” Let us make certain that our cupboard
shelves, and those of our family members, are stocked with the things which
will provide safety to our souls and enable us to return to our Father in
Heaven. Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith,
prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness. – President Thomas S.
Monson
