Product Description
Studies show that young girls often develop faster than their male counterparts, grasping concepts such as math and sports just as easily -- until they reach early adolescence. Then, girls quickly fall behind boys, victims to society's confusing dictates of what being female means. According to parenting expert Will Glennon, reinforcing a young girl's self-esteem through carefully considered "boosters" is the key to helping girls hold their own in the world. This guide helps parents and teachers understand the subtle difference between "boosters" and "busters." For example, complimenting a young woman on her appearance may give her the idea that she is valued only for her looks. In 200 Ways to Raise a Girl's Self-Esteem, readers will find ways to impart a strong sense of self-worth to girls in everyday situations.

 The Most Confident Daughter Ever! January 24, 2010
T. Glennon (Des Moines, Iowa)
Highly recommended for parents struggling to parent to ensure their children - especially daughters - to grow up with a high sense of self-esteem, confidence, and respect for themselves and others. Get this book, it helps parents look at negative situations in a positive way to create a win-win for both the parent and the child.
 Not bad for OK-functioning youngsters... August 28, 2002
Stephen Armstrong (Hadley, Ma USA)

The good parts of this book: the recommendations are practical, reasonable, and, in the long run, pretty straight-forward. Some examples of the 200 items: Get your priorities straight; Teach her to set healthy boundaries. In all, not a bad checklist.This book probably is useful to parents or caregivers who need to review or talk about these items. For parents or caregivers to a child with moderate academic, social, or emotional problems, however, this book is insufficient. Readers should turn to books by Myrna Shure, Martin Seligman, and others. This book matches a similar book for boys, from the same publisher, 200 Ways to Raise a Boy's Emotional Intelligence. Why is it that we think of self-esteem for girls and emotional intelligence for boys?

What a find! Borrowed from the library and soon to become a core source of smart, practical and important strategies for helping my daughter navigate her complicated world and become a person of strength and generousity.
It is the type of book useful to those who enjoy well written parenting books and those who want something that they can pick up and put down, as time permits.
It's a buy for anyone working with or caring about girls. September 14, 1999
52 out of 59 found this review helpful
Bottom Line: It's a buy for any parent, teacher, or caregiver working with girls.Best feature: Each of the 200 "ways" has a short action step individualized for both parents and teachers. Makes implementation of the ideas much easier. Pet peeve: No index....aarggh!
