From the Publisher

Written in a conversational tone with a dynamic, easy-to-read design, RAISING GIRLS addresses the emotional, physical, and behavioral issues that are particular to daughters.

Parents learn how to help their daughters cope with fear, avoid social and academic stereotyping, counter the negative messages girls receive about their place in society, and foster self-reliance and self-esteem that will help them find positive relationships.
