كتاب جميل يحتوي على أفكار و أستراتيجيات كثيرة يساعد الأم و الأب على تربية البنت بطريقة جميلة و مشجعة.
يحتوي الكتاب على فصول متنوعة و كل ثقافة تستطيع أخذ ما تراه مناسب مع حالتها الإجتماعية، الجميل في الكاتبة بأنها كتبت المتَاب بشكل تفاؤلي جداً و تشجع الأم و الأب في مواجهة الكثير من المصاعب بطريقتها القوية في سرد الطريقة التعامل مع الكثير من الحالات.

ما أراه شخصياً في الكتاب بأنه يصلح بأن يكون كتاب مرجعي بعد قرائته، حيث لا يستطيع الأب أو الأم بالإلمام بكل ما ذكر من تكتيكات و طرق .

فوجوده في المكتبة للرجوع له يكون جيد جداً
و لكن لا أنصح بأن يمون مرجع من دون قوىرأته مرة واحدة.

This was just "okay".
Don't get me wrong, there was some good info in there here and there.
But, it took me forever to finish it, which is a good indicator it's not the best book for my taste.
It seemed more like a college paper than a good quality book.
Not a total waste of time, but not the best resource on the subject either.

يمكن الاستفادة منه لكن يجب الانتباه لبعض ما يوضع في هدا الكتاب لأنه قد يخالف بعض المبادئ الأساسية في ديننا

Not what I expected. I actually didn't read the whole thing, mostly skimmed.

Like the boy version, I wanted this book to have some kind of lovely insight, but it was very basic.

A few helpful ideas; part common sense; and part author's unsupported personal opinions with a smattering of unabashed political bias.
