New softcover book, 192 pages.

In this straightforward and thought-provoking book, psychologist and parenting author Gisela Preuschoff considers the important issues for parents who are raising girls today.

These include how to

• Understand the key emotional and physical aspects of girls' development from babyhood to adolescence
• Appreciate the emotional and behavioural differences between girls and boys - and what they mean for you
• Realise the importance of having a close bond with your daughter
• Recognise the importance of fathers to daughters
• Understand how self-esteem can reduce your daughter's fears
• Choose a girl-friendly school
• Keep your daughter on track during the turbulent teenage years
• Gain practical understanding of your daughter from birth through to the teenage years.
• Counter the negative messages girls receive about their place in society
  

Using a warm and conversational approach, similar to Steve Biddulph's Raising Boys, Gisela Preuschoff communicates in an accessible way to parents, injecting her own experiences as a mother. The book also includes stories from the experiences of Australian families and encourages parents to recognise their daughter's special talents. Her advice ranges from birth to late adolescence - and across issues to do with physical and sexual development, girls and learning, parent-child relationships and the daughter's emotional life.

Raising Girls includes a foreword by Steve Biddulph, who rates this the best book on parenting girls he has seen.
