Want to teach/train your child to be a good leader? One of the most important things to learn is good communication skills. Make sure, you as an adult, talk to your child and not down to them. It is important for us to live the example of a leader. If plans do not go as planned, explain this to your child. Children understand way more than we give them credit for sometimes. Allow your child to participate in decision, activities involving helping others.Consider exposing them to good leaders outside of your home. That does not mean abandoning them to those leaders! Not sure what the traits of a good leader are? The author has put together a good list to start you thinking.Courage and self discipline are two other important traits. Praise your child when you see these in action.Please note that the author recommends both the Boy and Girl Scouts. If you are not in agreement with all the changes going on within these two groups at the moment, you can just glance over this small part of the book and/or maybe look into similar organizations that work within your value system.Teach your child how to set goals. Encourage them to have a vision. "Goals and visions are the same," you say. No they are not! Read the difference in this book.Well-written, short book.
