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

The well-documented drop in confidence, happiness, and sense of worth as young girls move toward adolescence is discouraging and unacceptable. As this interactive book from the authors of the Choices series shows, there are many ways to bolster girls whether starting at birth or considerably later on. Checklists, quizzes, and questions encourage parents to examine their own attitudes, define what it means to be male and female, and learn nitty-gritty strategies to help their daughters. Psychologists, researchers, and regular folks are abundantly quoted in this earnest, often enlightening book.
