PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Parents and leaders provide regular opportunities for young women to report their progress. When a young woman reports regularly, she is able to make an accounting of her efforts and share what she has learned and how her testimony has been strengthened. Parents and leaders recognize her accomplishments, confirm her understanding and application of gospel principles, and offer encouragement for continued progress. These interactions will help develop caring relationships.
"Members of the bishopric may use their interviews with young women to recognize and encourage each young woman’s progress.... Stake presidents should regularly ask bishops about the welfare and progress of the young women in their wards." -Personal Progress Manual
