Raising a Daughter: Parents and the Awakening of a Healthy Woman

The often conflicting messages to women about women make the raising of girls a sometimes daunting responsibility. The continuing struggle for equality between the sexes may appear to be at odds with the obvious and the not-so-obvious differences between males and females. The Eliums help parents unravel and make sense of all this conflicting information. They address the unique challenge of the mother/daughter relationship, the confusion experienced by fathers, and the special needs of single parents. Going step-by-step through each stage of development, from infancy through the teen years and into early adulthood, this book is indispensable reading for new and experienced parents alike.
