Book Reviews of Raising Confident Girls: 100 Tips For Parents And Teachers
Book Review: Not a bad checklist...
Summary: 3 Stars
Parents who wish for confident girls will find the "usual" list here, all centering around developing respect and confidence in girls. There are some glaring omissions, however. (Nothing on boundary setting, questions that girls may have about development.) Some of the recommendations may be wrong in certain settings (e.g., "Don't impose your views" makes no sense if the child is not safe). This is child-centered, laissez-faire parenting, suitable for middle-class, well-educated, physically safe families.Some of the 100 tips parallel exactly the 100 items for boys in the author's book for boys (e.g., Support the school).
This book is better than Will Glennon's "200 Ways to Raise a Girl's self-esteem."
Summary of Raising Confident Girls: 100 Tips For Parents And Teachers
Girls need ample, loving demonstrations from adults close to them that they are appreciated and can be trusted to know what they need for themselves. They also need to be given plenty of opportunity to develop their talents. Girls who lack sufficient emotional support may feel neglected and unworthy of attention, and easily find themselves at greater risk of exploitation and abuse, even as adults. Raising Confident Girls provides parents and teachers with the best hands-on, practical advice available for nurturing girls in a changing and challenging social environment.
