How to Raise a Conservative Daughter
"An essential resource for any parent, educator, or citizen looking for help in raising a child with conservative values." —MARK LEVIN
Michelle’s wisdom as a longtime activist, mom, and mentor to young women is needed now more than ever!” —RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY, Fox News Contributor
Raising a daughter is hard. Raising her to be a conservative can seem impossible. In a long career devoted to equipping the next generation of conservative women for leadership, Michelle Easton has worked with thousands of students and young professionals. Their backgrounds are as varied as America itself, but in each girl’s life, something went right. How to Raise a Conservative Daughter is an invaluable guide to what works.
It’s foolish to pretend that the challenges aren’t enormous. Toxic social media, radical indoctrination in schools, an entertainment industry that panders to our lowest cravings—the cultural forces arrayed against your family are terrifying. But you are not helpless.
Parents sometimes don’t know what to do, and often they simply don’t do what they know. It is possible, Easton shows, to nurture lasting values in your daughter. Her tested—and sometimes counter-intuitive—techniques will strengthen your daughter’s heart and mind.
Ronald Reagan warned, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” And today, the tragically common lament of parents is, “We don't know what happened, but one day we realized our daughter had rejected our most precious values.” There are no guarantees, but savvy, determined, and loving parents have more than a fighting chance of raising the wives, mothers, and leaders our country so desperately needs.

A book based in decency, understanding, and reality!
Entitlement, racism, and corruption are all a major elements of the newly risen leftism that has allowed "peaceful protesters" to burn down cities and murder innocent people. And this book is a tool to combat it. Self-reliance, confidence, and self-control are all admirable traits in a person, to me. These are all elements that shine through this book. The title will not appeal to people who have allowed media boot-lickers to sway their opinion of our political system and its role in our personal lives, but the book itself holds valuable common sense philosophies that echo time-honored wisdom parents need now more than ever.

If you’re already a conservative, this book won’t be very groundbreaking. I personally got the vibe that the author discussed faith as more of a means to an end (“being conservative”), rather than for its intrinsic value. That kind of turned me off a bit right out of the gate. After a while, the book began to feel like one long advertisement for the Clare Boothe Luce Center, as the author must have talked about it more than 200 times (conservative estimate…pun intended). There were some good illustrations, like in the chapter about finances/money, but overall the book fell flat. Not the worst read nor the best, just middle of the road.
I listened to this one on Audible and the narrator was an older lady whose voice sounded almost cartoonish at times. I would have perhaps preferred to read this one instead.

A must read for any mother hoping to raise a conservative daughter. While I know and believe everything she says in the book, it’s extremely helpful that she adds ACTUAL ways to help. ACTUAL resources. ACTUAL books to read. ACTUAL rebuttals in a debate. So much I read is just “do this” and “do that” but with no “how to” or steps to do it.

An easy read with great advice that was provably more applicable on the early 2000s. I wish they would write an updated version for today. Chapters move through: faith formation, self-worth grounded outside of appearance/social validation, media and social-media literacy, countering campus/school ideological pressure, courtship/marriage expectations, career and financial independence, and civic/political engagement

Wasn't a big fan. It felt more like an advertisement for the author and her organization

Good book!
I’m already conservative, so I didn’t get as much out of it as I thought I would, but still a good read and worth the time.

Halfway through and so far 5 stars! I loved the part that encourages you to encourage your daughter to write. This will definitely be something I hope we can do together one day!

Great book for anyone looking for a straightforward, outline on raising morally sound girls in today’s world. Loved her perspective, totally grounded in reality.
