“I am trying to remember and follow Jesus Christ.” (“My Gospel Standards” poster)
In my book FHEasy, I frequently quote from the Primary poster “My Gospel Standards” in the sections for younger children. This is a poster for Primary-aged children that lists thirteen standards for gospel living and has a watermark of the Salt Lake City temple in the background. On the bottom of the poster, it has this quote: “I am a child of God. I know Heavenly Father loves me, and I love Him. I can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere. I am trying to remember and follow Jesus Christ.”
When this poster was introduced, the Primary general presidency said,
Primary children have been given [a list of] gospel standards to help them live the gospel of Jesus Christ. . . . During the coming year, find opportunities to teach these standards in family home evening, in the classroom, and in sharing time. (“My Gospel Standards,” Ensign, Sept. 2000)
I was able to get a large poster from my church library for my children’s bedrooms. My older girls decided where they’d like to put it so they can see it and read it easily. My older daughter put it on the closet that her bed faces. That way, when she is laying in bed, her eyes are pointed toward the lists of standards and the temple. My younger daughter put it on her door where she would see it every time she walked into her room, and it is also easy to see from the hallway.
It’s a support not only to my children but also to me. I hope that if you have small children at home you will take the time to get at least one poster at put it up.

I just found a bookmark version of the gospel standards here.
