Great Guide for Girls

We all know that being a pre-teen girl is not easy. This book provides a matter of fact response and is at their age level so they can understand it. There isn't any lecturing but some common sense advice.
I wish this book were around when I was growing up.

Dr. Holstein, Positive Psychologist, says what a great companion book for every girl!

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingRave reviews for this book! As a positive psychologist and a school psychologist for over 25 years, I know too well how girls can suffer and feel alone and misunderstood during early crushes. In fact, I consider this issue so important, that it is one of my major themes that the girl in my new book for girls, The Truth, I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything, has to deal with. She expresses her deepest feeling to her diary but her own mother and her best friend don't really understand. If only she had had this book! It might have helped. What I love about this book is that feelings are shared and explained as wholesome, and also examples of how to talk to your mom, etc. are given. This book is a great companion book to my book. I can see the author and myself giving a talk where we share the different ways we entered a serious problem, one book nonfiction, one fiction. But we are all trying to help girls feel comfortable with their feelings and feel good about who they are. Wait a minute. I have a radio show, Kids, Tweens and Teens, a Positive Psychologist Looks at all Three. I think I'll invite her to be my guest. Stay tuned!

appropriate information

My then 10 year old daughter wanted this book long before I felt she was old enough. I allowed my sister to purchase the book from the American Girl Chicago store since she was visiting the city and give it to my daughter for her 11th birthday. It has good information to keep my daughter happy without too much information. American Girl has a good way of addressing issues for girls without giving information that is best coming from parents. Another great AG publication. I think we have them all!
