About this title

From the Back Cover

Is Your Daughter on the Right Path?

Do you know what your daughter really thinks about boys, school, God, her future? It's not easy to be sure. These and other important topics don't often come up in everyday conversation. Plus, a girl's views on life can shift quickly, thanks to friends, pop culture, and other influences.

Now, with this book, you can connect with your daughter and help her navigate the coming teen years. Based on tried-and-true parenting wisdom, you will find thoughtful questions and talking points that lead to meaningful, natural conversations on key issues, including:

· Physical and emotional changes your daughter is facing
· Taking ownership of her spiritual life
· Using social media responsibly
· and much more

These bonding times will not only help you both get ready for the years ahead, but they will show that you love her dearly.

"This informative, lively book is full of practical ideas. . . . I highly recommend it!"--Cheri Fuller, speaker and author of What a Girl Needs From Her Mom

Great for Moms and Dads!
