Summary: Not bad for OK-functioning youngsters...
Review: The good parts of this book: the recommendations are practical, reasonable, and, in the long run, pretty straight-forward. Some examples of the 200 items: Get your priorities straight; Teach her to set healthy boundaries. In all, not a bad checklist. This book probably is useful to parents or caregivers who need to review or talk about these items. For parents or caregivers to a child with moderate academic, social, or emotional problems, however, this book is insufficient. Readers should turn to books by Myrna Shure, Martin Seligman, and others. This book matches a similar book for boys, from the same publisher, 200 Ways to Raise a Boy's Emotional Intelligence. Why is it that we think of self-esteem for girls and emotional intelligence for boys?

Summary: practical tips easily digested and implemented
Review: What a find! Borrowed from the library and soon to become a core source of smart, practical and important strategies for helping my daughter navigate her complicated world and become a person of strength and generousity.
It is the type of book useful to those who enjoy well written parenting books and those who want something that they can pick up and put down, as time permits.
