Sister Combs had borrowed an outfit from her friend Caleb and invited the class to try it on, but they all said it was way too small! Five- and six-year-olds are a lot bigger than eight-month-old babies! We talked about all the things the children have learned to do as they have grown bigger. Then we talked about some of the things that they still have to learn. Heavenly Father knows that children need time to learn and grow before they are truly responsible for their actions, so he taught us that the age of accountability is eight years old. We noticed that this is also how old we have to be to be baptized! We talked about what it means to be accountable--we must accept the consequences of our actions, and work hard to make the right choices. We reviewed what CTR stands for: Choose the Right! We are in a CTR class and have CTR rings to help us learn and remember how to choose the right.
We talked about how we are responsible for our own behavior. Our parents and teachers are accountable for what they teach us, but we are accountable for whether we keep the commandments or not.
We colored a picture of children making good choices. There was a little extra time at the end, so we played Latter-Day Prophet Concentration, which is a little tricky, since some of the presidents of our church looked very similar!
