“Children need to know who they are in the eternal sense of their identity. They need to know that they have an eternal Heavenly Father on whom they can rely, to whom they can pray, and from whom they can receive guidance. They need to know from whence they came so that their lives will have meaning and purpose” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 187).

1843 - While holding mayor’s court, the Prophet Joseph saw two boys fighting through the window.  He left the court and ran over to stop them from fighting.  He gave them “proper instruction” and then chastised the bystanders for not interfering and stopping the fight, that they were “to quell all disturbances in the street at the first onset.”  He returned to the courtroom and “told them that nobody was allowed to fight in Nauvoo but myself” (History of the Church, 5:282-283).
