"I have heard a few parents state that they don't want to impose the gospel on their children but want them to make up their own minds about what they will believe and follow. They think that in this way they are allowing children to exercise their agency. What they forget is that the intelligent use of agency requires knowledge of the truth, of things as they really are (see D&C 93:24). Without that, young people can hardly be expected to understand and evaluate the alternatives that come before them."
Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Moral Discipline," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2009, 107.
