The Harakals, however, focus on how to parent, providing compelling advice that syncs up with the child's Scouting stage. Through that advice, parents learn to harness myriad opportunities to help their daughter discover her unique gifts and talents. From helping conquer fears to finding new interests or hobbies to developing outdoor skills or even embarking on a career path, parents are crucial to the success of a child's Scouting life.

With this book in hand, parents become facilitators and confidants in their child's journey. As parents, being prepared is the best first step. A relationship of mutual love and respect will be the reward.
