Linx Educational Publishing, 2003
Just the support I need!
+ It's about time - Thanks! + 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. The ...

Growing a Girl: Seven Strategies for Raising a Strong, Spirited Daughter 14 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

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 ...

Guilt-Free Motherhood: How to Raise Great Kids & Have Fun Doing It 1 review Joni Hilton
Covenant Communications, 1996
A delightful book!
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.
