200 Ways to Raise a Girl's Self-Esteem: An Indispensible Guide for Parents, Teachers & Other Concerned Caregivers (Gift for Parents)

By Will Glennon

Book Overview

Building Self-Esteem in Girls

Guidelines and Advice for Parents and Teachers

Raise self-empowered girls. Studies show that young girls often develop faster than their male counterparts, grasping concepts such as math and sports just as easily─until they reach early adolescence. Then, girls quickly fall behind boys, victims to society's confusing dictates of what being female means. 200 Ways to Raise a Girl's Self-Esteem provides straightforward advice and helpful guidelines for parents and teachers who want to help girls build positive self-images and develop full, exuberant lives.

Learn from a parenting expert. Will Glennon guides you through how to raise a young girl's self-esteem through carefully considered "boosters," the key to helping girls hold their own in the world. This guide helps you understand the subtle difference between "boosters" and "busters." For example, complimenting a young woman on her appearance may give her the idea that she is valued only for her looks, whereas complimenting her ability to complete a complicated homework assignment boosts her confidence in her intelligence. Find ways to impart a strong sense of self-worth to girls in everyday situations with 200 Ways to Raise a Girl's Self-Esteem.

Learn to be a good example for girls. Teach, advise, and create rituals that help girls navigate their transition into womanhood. 200 Ways to Raise a Girl's Self-Esteem is a practical guide for raising healthy girls and provides exercises for parents and teachers.
