This lesson is about positive language and keeping profanity out of your words.
Read or summarize this talk by Elder Dallin H. Oaks with your family.

After giving each of your family members one of these, challenge them to tell their friends not to use profanity in their language if one member happens to come across it, and to never be the source of such crude language.
