Parents who wish for confident girls will find the "usual" list here, all centering around developing respect and confidence in girls. There are some glaring omissions, however. (Nothing on boundary setting, questions that girls may have about development.) Some of the recommendations may be wrong in certain settings (e.g., "Don't impose your views" makes no sense if the child is not safe). This is child-centered, laissez-faire parenting, suitable for middle-class, well-educated, physically safe families.

Some of the 100 tips parallel exactly the 100 items for boys in the author's book for boys (e.g., Support the school).

This book is better than Will Glennon's "200 Ways to Raise a Girl's self-esteem."

Straight forward, easy to follow tips on how to help girls grow to their full potential. There are not a lot of wasted words. This book's format is simple and to the point. It is written for ordinary people who just want some common sense advise on how to help girls be happy, healthy, and strong.

My daughters first grade teacher lent me this book years ago. It was wonderful information. I bought it for my brother who has a brand new daughter. It is geared for older children, not so much babies. But worth getting for anyone with school age girls.

I am very happy with the product and the service. You're promise is reality! Well done. I am confident to buy more from amazon.com!!
