Everyday Ways... is a must read for any parent, educator or mentor who is concerned with raising girls in the world today. Not only does Barbara Littman explain why girls are the way they are, she gives suggestions on how to raise girls to be confident in themselves and to be proud of who they are. The suggestions are do-able and simple. The book is truly a usable handbook that can be read in a short amount time with additional resources added in the back of the book. I am recommending this book to all my friends with daughters!

I was hoping there would be more thought provoking ideas and concepts. Most of what the author includes is straight forward parenting. Assuming you engage in parenting and take the responsibility seriously this book probably won't add much to what you're already doing. For others it will help.

This book gives you practical, down to earth ideas that you can easily incorporate into your everyday life. No time consuming charts to keep track of. What I really liked was that many quotes and ideas were from successful girls and what they felt made them successful.
