Summary

"My six-year-old fusses with her hair for hours. Is this normal?" "Yesterday my seventh grader was all sunshine. Today she's wearing black and won't leave her room." "I'm worried my teenager may have an eating disorder."

In today's complex world, parenting a girl is harder than ever. It takes more than love. It takes insight into the things that make your daughter tick as she grows from childhood to young adulthood.

Drawing on the authors' 50-plus years of combined counseling experience, Raising Girls takes you inside the mind and soul of your girl. You'll obtain seasoned, expert insights on

  • Your daughter's different stages of development from ages zero to 19
  • How you can effectively relate to her at each stage
  • What is normal behavior, what isn't, and when and how to intervene
  • How to deal with self-destructive behavior such as eating disorders, cutting, or experimentation with alcohol
  • ...and much more

Spiced with stories, humor, and much reassurance, Raising Girls will help you encourage your daughter, challenge her, love her, and help her discover who God is creating her to be.

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

No

What was most disappointing about Melissa Trevathan and Sissy Goff ’s story?

I couldn't get past the first few chapters, I didn't get any insights into girls behaviour. I also didn't enjoy the constant reference to god and quotes from the bible.

What didn’t you like about Sandy Burr’s performance?

The baby voices she put on were irritating.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Review of raising girls.

A friend recommended this book. It gives more of an understanding of what girls are going through. I would recommend it to a Christian friend.
