“In the pattern set by the Savior’s own teachings, it is telling that both of these declarations invite adults—Mormon said specifically ‘parents’—to become more like little children, not the other way around. An infant’s purity and innocence, a baby’s sense of wonder, a little one’s willingness to believe, a toddler’s inherent trust in a Father and Mother, a child’s ability to almost instantly forgive and forget, to laugh again and see the very best in the world—these are just a few of the ways adults need to be more like children. Truly ’of such is the kingdom of heaven.’ (Matt 19:14)” (Christ And The New Covenant, p. 217)
