Will My Child Be Ready?
About:
A missionary's training does not begin when he or she enters the doors of the MTC. Well before that, each missionary's mother can begin laying the groundwork that will prepare her child to diligently and wholeheartedly serve the Lord and His children.
Mothers have an immeasurable
influence and a significant responsibility in raising up young men and women
who are prepared to further the work of the Lord. This unique resource includes
12 training chapters for moms of prospective missionaries, all written by
mothers who have sent children on missions (and some by mothers who have also served
as mission presidents wives). Whether you have young children and are hoping to
begin the mission training process early or you have less than a year to pull
all the pieces together, here is the good news: the path of preparing a child
for a mission begins wherever you are. Chapters on topics such as fostering
good daily habits, developing relationship skills, being resilient, and
recognizing the Spirit shed light on what future missionaries need to know,
what they need to do, and what they need to be.

In my opinion:
This new book Will My Child Be Ready? Missionary Prep for Moms by Emily Freeman and Merrilee Boyack is a prefect
book with great ideas for preparing future missionaries of all ages to
serve a mission. This book is a wonderful resource for mothers, and fathers
even, to help prepare their children to be ready. I have four children
that range between the ages of 7-18. For the last twenty years, my husband and
I have decided as a couple to help our kids be ready to take this journey in
their life to prepare for a mission. Whether it be as a member missionary or in
the field this book is one way to help your children or grandchildren prepare
to be future missionaries.
