Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message.. Steve Biddulph's Raising Girls is both a guidebook and a call to arms for parents. The first book in a generation to look at boys' specific needs, parents loved its clarity and warm insights into their sons' inner world. Raising Girls is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls' mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards.

With Raising Girls he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood, equipping parents to deal with the modern world and getting the media off the backs of our daughters. It's a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women - or anywhere in betwe

They visit us regularly and the information within these pages has assisted us to be "on the same page" in regard to consistency and compassion for these two young ladies.
