Fighting for and not with your Family

Youth Talks

by Hank Smith

We all want to be part of a forever family, right? But why do we seem to be on our worst behavior when about what we can do to get that love at home we all sing about but sometimes miss in all the chaos of arguing, sibling rivalries, and good old-fashioned grumpiness. Using stories, examples from the scriptures, and plenty we're with our family? Why do we seem to get along with everyone besides our family? What can we do to really want to spend eternity with our family? Hank can help! In this entertaining and enlightening talk by everyone's favorite youth speaker, Hank Smith tackles the problem of family unity and talks of his trademark humor, Hank gives practical solutions to an age-old problem. (Too bad Hank wasn't around when Nephi and his brothers weren't getting along!) Isn't it time we start fighting for instead of with our family?!

Loved this talk. Hopefully some of it sunk into my kids heads. I need to figure out a way to have it on constant repeat in my kids heads. 😂

Not really a book but just a recording of a presentation he did. Directed towards teenagers but has really good advice for everyone. He throws in a lot of humor to keep listeners engaged. All around good fun and good advice.

Had this as a book on CD, whole family still quotes it, “Don’t crush my chips” easy to listen to

I was almost done listening to this and kept thinking, I want my family to hear this! Hank is funny. He gets the teenagers attention and keeps it with fun stories, scriptures, etc.

Last weekend at the end of a ski day on the way home from the ski resort I turned this on in the car. With everyone exhausted from the day (kids ages from 8-18 I had a captive audience! It was awesome, Brother Smith said Amen just as we pulled in the garage.

Great "book" to read and go over with the family...specially if you're having difficulties of any kind.
