LDS (mormon) beliefs that affect parenting
I was wondering if anyone with LDS knowledge or experience could fill me in on some of the common beliefs that would affect a child's view of family life/world view etc.
I have a friend this weekend at is meeting her three new children (coming via foster care). Kids are ages 4, 9, 14 or so. Kids have been in a mormon foster home for the last 13 months. They are a protestant Christian family.
There is one thing she has noticed so far (kids arrived last night and ffamily just dropped them off and left) - littlest one was QUITE upset that her son only wore pj bottoms to bed, and demanded that he wear a shirt. Said something about being "covered" at all times.
Is this a LDS thing, or their family thing - is there anything else like this that might come up? Food restrictions? Traditions? etc
