"Teach Your Children" is a song by Graham Nash from the album Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young released in 1970. It quickly became a counterculture anthem.^{[citation needed]} Written about Nash's difficult relationship with his father^{[citation needed]}, it features Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar.

"Teach Your Children" was used in a 1970's public service message on television highlighting the negative aspect of nuclear testing and proliferation. The clip portrayed multiple nuclear explosions carried out by the United States.^{[citation needed]}

In NBC's The Office the song was sung by Michael Scott (Steve Carrell), and Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), at the end of an episode of the television show The Office entitled "Take Your Daughter to Work Day."

The song was played at Lisa Kimmel Fisher's funeral on HBO's Six Feet Under.
