My daughter was baptized in May of this year, and I have been feeling extra pressure about my own behavior. This is a good thing, I guess, in some ways. But it seems that lately my own standards are difficult to live up to. I tend to be very hard on myself, when I make a mistake, in my daughter's presence. I feel like I'm being a bad example for her.

Thanks for responding,

I am sure you will be a better person as you go through life because of your sensitivity to this responsibility. I am pretty confident that your daughter will not go through life without making mistakes, but what a great opportunity to teach her about the great atoning sacrifice the our Savior went through. She will learn how to repent and improve as she sees you make mistakes and repent openly as an example of this precious principle to her.

I am sure you will be great.

Sincerely,

Donny Osmond
