+ It's About Time - Thanks!

Thanks for a video that helps open a discussion that is hard for me to have with my daughters. I feel strongly that it is my responsibility as a parent but I'm uncomfortable trying to talk openly and this video takes away the naughty feel that often comes along when kids talk to each other.

Growing a Girl: Seven Strategies for Raising a Strong, Spirited Daughter14 reviews
Barbara Dr Mackoff

Dell, 1996

Best book I've ever read on raising girls

+ What to do about the effects of culture and marketing on our girls

The last reviewer appears not to have read this book with an open mind. Clearly they are stuck on the issue of women working or staying at home-which is by now a mute point. We know that women who work outside the home raise children who are just as well off as those who stay at home. In fact, the ...

Reads as much like a novel as a parenting book. The author uses clever stories and anecdotes to make her points - thus making this a very enjoyable book to read. I'd also recommend: Perfect Parenting (The Dictionary of 1000 Parenting Tips) by Elizabeth Pantley.
