every mother of daughters should read this everything makes more sense， encourage what you are doing is actually ok or highlights what you are doing wrong and how to change it。 Easy read and focus on raising happy confident teenage girls and surviving Thank you Lorraine Mrs Gaviria

Some interesting bits and some funny bits; slightly repetitive in some parts but overall worth a read。

This is a candid book which details what the author has learnt about raising two teenage girls。 There was definitely some useful advice in here， and I’ve been pointed in the direction of other books and podcasts。 I’ve also committed the unforgivable sin of bending back pages for future reference 😂 My only small negative was that （similarly to other similar books） it became a bit “samey” as there are only so many ways you can give the same message。 All in all a good read that I will be returning This is a candid book which details what the author has learnt about raising two teenage girls。 There was definitely some useful advice in here， and I’ve been pointed in the direction of other books and podcasts。 I’ve also committed the unforgivable sin of bending back pages for future reference 😂 My only small negative was that （similarly to other similar books） it became a bit “samey” as there are only so many ways you can give the same message。 All in all a good read that I will be returning to and would recommend to other mums of teen girls。 。。。more

Okay。 Downloaded by accident （rather than sampling it）。 Some useful tips and info。 Found it a bit basic and repetitive after a while。

I'll confess not my usual literary affair （It's got a pink cover！！）， but on recommendation from the Missus （recommendation not coercion） I gave it ago and thoughly enjoyed it from laugh out loud to s**t that's me！！ So any Dads with girls take a read。。。。even if you skim to Chapter 22 about Dad's it's worth it。。。。。。now onto a murder mystery or legal drama， but 'Raising Girls' by Steve Biddulph is now on the reading list。。。。。 I'll confess not my usual literary affair （It's got a pink cover！！）， but on recommendation from the Missus （recommendation not coercion） I gave it ago and thoughly enjoyed it from laugh out loud to s**t that's me！！ So any Dads with girls take a read。。。。even if you skim to Chapter 22 about Dad's it's worth it。。。。。。now onto a murder mystery or legal drama， but 'Raising Girls' by Steve Biddulph is now on the reading list。。。。。 。。。more

Very worthwhile and sometimes challenging reading

An absolute gem of a book for anyone with a girl child in， or approaching， their teens。 I would suggest Dads read it too because I feel that as a woman I have a head start on understanding ‘the teen girl’ （what with having been one！） but for Dads it must be an absolute minefield！
