I devoured this book. I'm at the tale end of raising a girl...she's nearly a woman but even so there is so much to take from this book. It had me in tears and had me nodding in agreement. I have spoken to my daughter about things that are hard for me...body imagine. I apologised to her and a bit to my self for how I have felt about my own body and how this has impacted her. If you are raising daughters or even if you are in a young girl's life this is a must read book.

Really useful book for parents, as a non-parent it helped me understand my childhood years better. I gave 3 stars not for the information but for the writing style which I felt a bit heavy. Other than that, I recommend this book! Soon to come out in Romanian as well!

Steve Biddulph is my favourite parenting author and his latest book doesn't disappoint! I thought it may repeat a bit on Raising Girls (which I loved), but not at all! Full of great insights and very up-to-date on some of the challenges facing our girls these days. A joy to read and I took so much out of it.

[Duncan McIntyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic read for me as a dad of two daughters who grew up with no sisters or deep insight into womens’ worlds. Quick and easy to read, a must for fathers of daughters and a good reminder to us of all about what’s most important in life.

The menstruation ritual was a bit odd for my tastes but I understand the concept and intention behind it. Raising girls is so tough especially in this world we live in. Definitely need to give the stuff another listen in a few years time when mine is older.

Really helpful, relevant book with links to good supporting research and other resources. I really like Steve Biddulph and all his books.

Written with head and heart. Worthwhile read.

[Rambling Reviews · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a workbook that's directed at parents. A bit too much of a simple read and I'm not the right audience (childless, have nothing to do with young children or teenage girls).

[Catherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really great read. Interesting and thoughtful methods on how to raise girls. Hoping I can remember to do all the things Steve suggests, over the coming years.

[Angharad Boyson · Rating 5 out of 5]

An informative, easy to dip in and out of read. Good reflective questions as well as easy to understand information. A must for anyone raising daughters.

[Sharyn Haag · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome! Helpful, insightful and direct.
Whilst it was reassuring to know we are on the right path, there are many subtle changes that can always improve our relationship with our daughter.

[Augie Swanny · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was awesome most of the time. I do not have children, but I related to this book as a daughter and as an aunt. This book covers many topics and most of the advice is accurate.

[Cathy Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would love to meet Steve Biddaulph. He is so deeply empathic. The world needs more Steve's.

[Larissa Thistle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some great tips. Somewhat more difficult to apply in a fostering situation but still some excellent direction.

[Strivetoengage · Rating 3 out of 5]

Biddulph writes well and his advice seems sensible but he doesn't cite much research to support his opinions

[Cheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

The absolute BEST book ever on raising girls!

[Emma Sadler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read for CPD. There were quite a few good points.

[Eliza Ludwig]

I couldn't get through this book. Must not be the right time.
