So we talked about what nice words are, and what naughty words are. Then we talked about how Heavenly Father and Jesus wants us to be nice and say nice things. Then we talked about how Heavenly Father and Jesus wants us to listen to our parents, and how we are children of God. Then we read a few scriptures. After that we sat at the table and wrote down naughty words and naughty actions and put them in a box.
We took the kids outside, Justin dug a hole, Tyler put the box in the hole, he helped Justin bury the box, and then they stomped on the hole and said "No more naughty words!" It was really cute.
For our treat we had "dirt." I even buried some worms in there. It was great. After each bite Zoey would say yum!
It was fun and I think Tyler had a good time with it. Hopefully it will sink in a little bit better now.

That video was tooo cute!! I love it. Great idea!! We might copy it sometime. Kudos. I can tell the kids had a blast!!!
I have noticed that Tyler is much more aware of words and what they mean now. It helped a whole bunch. See you have already reaped the rewards from having Family Home Evening. Way to go. Blessings always come when you do as the prophet asks.
What a great FHE. I do remember doing that years ago. It really did help....for awhile....a long while though.
You are both such great parents. We love you all!!
