"In this book a very humble attempt has been made to discuss the different aspects of parenting which are very essential to ensure that the children grow up to become healthy, happy, morally and ethically upright strong individuals who are capable of taking their own decisions and choosing their own paths like the author's daughter who opted to become a Judge.

Parenting has been interestingly compared to a uncharted territory which is akin to venturing into the unknown and also viable solutions for tackling the path of this uncharted territory have been provided by the author which will make parenting like a cake-walk if followed in true letter and spirit. We all must remember that parenting being a very delicate aspect of life is like walking on the ice - if we slip the plot is lost forever!"
