Practical Advice Not Just for Parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Toolbox for Our Daughters: Building Strength, Confidence, and Integrity (Paperback)
This book has been very helpful in dealing with the children I teach and in my own life. I appreciate the short pull out sections that allow you to get a quick overview of specific things I am interested in. This is a great book not only for parents but those of us who work closely with young women. I have to admit I even found some of the info very practical for myself. It is a great place to start if you're looking for answers on how to help young women become stronger!
