Book Reviews of Growing a Girl: Seven Strategies for Raising a Strong, Spirited Daughter

Book Review: an excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this book to be very thought provoking. It made me rethink what I say and do with my daughter. As a former middle school math teacher, I have seen the problems that adolescent girls develop during their teen years. I have actually heard teenage girls claim that they are too dumb to do math because their mothers are not good in math. It always made me cringe and it challenged me to convince these girls that the stereotype was wrong. This book pointed out other stereotypes that I had not thought about before. It gives specific strategies that I can use now with my three year old daughter and others to use as she gets older. Even though I may not use every suggestion in the book, I am much more prepared to help my daughter learn to use her own mind and not be afraid to do so.
