5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading for all parents of pre-teen girls.,
By A Customer
This review is from: All That She Can Be: Helping Your Daughter Maintain Her Self-Esteem During the Critical Years of Adol (Paperback)
This book is easy to read and understand. While on the one hand it made me sad to realize my 8 year old is truly poised on the threshold of a new and difficult phase of life, it gave me insight, as well as some tools to use, to make this next journey easier on both of us. It emphasized how critical the pre-teen years are in establishing a relationship that can not only survive the turbulence of the junior and senior high years, but keep the fires of self-esteem and confidence burning in the face of "growing up." Useful, relevant and comforting, this is perfect reading for parents who worry that their daughters will be anything like they were as pre-teens!

All That She Can Be: Helping Your Daughter Maintain,
This review is from: All That She Can Be: Helping Your Daughter Maintain Her Self-Esteem During the Critical Years of Adol (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. I had read the great reviews, and it was a basic book that I didn't learn anything knew that I didn't know before reading this book.

What a fabulous book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: All That She Can Be: Helping Your Daughter Maintain Her Self-Esteem During the Critical Years of Adol (Paperback)
I started this book hoping for some ideas to help me deal with my 2 stepdaughters' venture into adolescence. I love it! The authors' experience, insight into girls' feelings and actions and realistic advice on how parents can help their daughters through this difficult time in their lives are invaluable. It is a definite keeper. (I'm also making my husband read it!)
