No criminal in American society is more despised than the man who has sex with children. This is his story. He offends us, but it's time to listen. Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another respected adult - Scoutmaster, teacher, priest, or pop singer - accused of child molesting. Into this uproar steps Scout's Honor, which systematically examines the history of sexual abuse in America's most revered youth group and tells us what we should know about men whose desires seem too bizarre to understand. Through a computer analysis of nearly 2000 previously secret files on child-abusing Scout leaders; through interviews with molesters, victims, investigators, and top Scout officials; and by digging through court records and 80-year-old Scout documents, author Patrick Boyle traces sexual abuse from Scouting's roots to today's headlines.
Detailing decades of sexual abuse in the Boy Scouts, one of the country's most respected institutions, award-winning journalist Boyle paints a distressing but true picture of seduction and betrayal in a place we all thought was safe. Subject of a profile on ABC's Day One.

Scout's Honor: Sexual Abuse in America's Most Trusted Institution
Useful, practical advice.
The only thing that bothered me was the way children's behavior was described as "misbehavior" instead of how the behavior was experienced for the child (what needs the child was trying to fulfill using that particular behavior) and then examining why that particular behavior was a problem for the family, society, etc.. I feel like framing it through the child's eyes invites more empathy to the situation, while still focusing on solutions. Hearing the word "misbehavior" over and over was off-putting to me.
With that said, I'm glad I did not discount this book because of that caveat. The author has given more practical advice than any other discipline book I've read that does not rely on punishments or rewards. I found the tips to stop nagging, stop rescuing, stop lecturing, getting a life, and act don't talk particularly enlightening. Her tips about family meetings and morning and bedtime routines have enhanced what we were already doing--she has a lot of gems in there.
Furthermore, the style of this book is particularly useful because it is easy to find tips on a particular issue when needed. And, of course, the first section is indispensable. I'm sure this is a reference book that I will refer to during my entire parenting career.
