Dear Parents,

As your children get older, they will take important new steps in their lives—like leaving Primary, starting a new grade at school, or going to the temple for the first time. You can help them prepare and feel confident about what will come next. You can start with some ideas on pages 36 and 38.

With love,

The Friend
