Description

The ultimate guide to raising girls.
Have you ever wondered why

It's the end of the world if her best friend won't play with her
She moans about wearing school uniform, then goes out dressed exactly the same as all the other girls
She spends all day with her friends but still needs to talk to them all evening

Written by head teachers and staff from some of the finest girls' schools in the country, Your Daughter is full of practical advice to help you negotiate the challenges of raising a daughter in the twenty-first century:

why girls are different
the importance of her friends
family relationships
self esteem
eating disorders
girls' bullying
social networking and the internet
influence of the media
helping her succeed at school

You may be bringing up one, two or even three daughters, but the authors of this book have hundreds of thousands of girls passing through their care each year. Your Daughter helps you to understand what makes her tick, from her first day at school until she flies the nest.
