After the great success of "Raising Sons," Jeanne Eirlich and Don Eirlich turned their attention and expertise to the challenging topic of raising daughters in the modern world. During the process of raising daughters, mothers often receive conflicting messages. On one hand, they are tirelessly fighting for gender equality, yet on the other, they discover that there are indeed explicit or implicit disparities between men and women. Changes in cultural and societal attitudes toward women also influence how we treat our daughters.
In the book, Eirlich help parents unravel these conflicting messages and clarify their confusion. They particularly emphasize the unique challenges of the mother-daughter relationship, the confusion fathers experience, and the special needs of single-parent families. From infants to teenagers and to mature young women, "Raising Daughters" provides a detailed introduction to the stages of a girl's growth and is a must-read for all parents of daughters.
In the book, you will discover:
- What are the differences between girls and boys?
- What are the patterns of girls' growth?
- What makes little girls?
- What pressures does our culture impose on girls?
- How to uncover the true intentions behind a girl's seemingly unreasonable behavior?
- How to identify potential dangers in a girl's growth environment and prevent them before they happen?
