Things Will Be Different for My Daughter: A Practical Guide to Building Her Self-Esteem and Self-Reliance

Rating:
Summary: A must-buy for the mother of any daughter!
Review: This book is a 20!

This is a pen and book process. It asks questions, gives activities and planning guides.

The first part teaches the definition of self-esteem and helps you evaluate your own upbringing and the attitudes you learned as a child that--even though you say you won't--you'll teach your daughter.

It shows you how what you say and DO will help her develop a 'Hardy Personality'.It gives a stage by stage strategy for raising a 'identity achieved' daughter.

But it isn't just a here's-how-to-do-it book. You develop your own plan for raising your daughter, and part of it is how you will change your own behavior to achieve it.

The authors say: Think of this book as "Raising a Daughter 101". Yep. That's what it is.I just wish I had this 30 years ago when my daughter was an infant, instead of my granddaughter.

But don't give up hope--even if your daughter is a teenager (or 30 like mine) there's a lot to learn in this wonderful book.
