Book Description

Dear Daughter July 15, 2002
The population of women with special needs face unique challenges. Vulnerability, abuse and social isolation are common - leading to a much higher incidence of psychological problems, molestation and abuse. The Dear Daughter series guides challenged young women towards being better informed for safer, happier, more independent lives.

Dear Daughter Book 1, The People in A Girl's Life, presents social problems faced by adolescent girls and the additional problems that can surface if the young woman has special needs. Presented in a series of question and answer letters, this book tackles interfamily relations, friendship, relationships, and personal social skills. The issues raised are made easily accessible by the inclusion of boxes that summarize the letters and the highlighting of key issues within the letters. The author offers honest and sensible advice drawn from personal experience that she has gained from raising her daughter and years of teaching.

Not only useful for young women, this book provides an insight into problems that many adolescent girls face today and can serve as a starting point for discussion between parents and daughters about the sensitive issues of growing up.

This review is from: The People in a Girl's Life: How to Find Them, Better Understand Them and Keep Them (Dear Daughter) (Paperback)
I THOUGHT THIS BOOK WAS NEAT BECAUSE IT TALKED ABOUT FEELINGS AND QUESTIONS THAT I HAD AS A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD. THIS BOOK WOULD BE GOOD FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS BECAUSE IT WILL HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND THEIR KIDS FEELINGS AND FRUSTRATIONS.
