Popular Post MorningStar Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Posted October 2, 2020 Good! When I brought my young daughter, she spent the majority of the time asking me when it was going to be over and ruined the evening for me. And we used to have dinner with the women until they added 8 and up. Also, how are they supposed to talk to us about serious issues with young children around? 5

Tacenda Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 I wonder if the leaders thought it good to solidify 8 year old's testimonies in the church, or ground them more. And the reason for switching the age from 19 to 18 for the male missionaries.

It's not as if families with girls younger than age 11 (in Earth years) are going to be asked to leave the room. Whole families will likely still watch the whole thing, just as they did before. If they ever advise that anyone NOT watch a session of conference, then that would be some new kind of news. Until then I'm going to continue watch every session of Conference and recommend that my entire family watch every one with me. I think if the leaders have not suggested it is for girls 8 to 11, their mothers and fathers won't feel the need to get them to watch, it's more an individual choice. This takes off the pressure, as some have suggested from their own experiences, some younger girls were not really ready for having to attend a women's session. Of course they can watch, just as anyone else can watch any or all sessions if they are interested. 5

It also means that the speakers won't try to make the content appropriate and interesting for an 8 year old. 5

Still a stretch for 11 year olds but with the priesthood deacon's quorum precedent it makes some sense. I agree, at least 11 year olds are a more sensible aspect than 8 year olds... I never did like including 8 yr olds... GG 4
