A companion book to Lies Girls Believe, this guide provides statistics, advice, and examples for moms as they guide their daughters through the pre-teen and early teen years. Author Dannah Gresh does a good job of addressing the issues pre-teen girls face and gives moms talking points for opening up the conversation.
I had mixed feelings about this book. I loved that both this book and Lies Girls Believe stuck to age appropriate issues without addressing behaviors that were too much too soon. And I appreciated the fact that while these topics aren't those that we talk about every day, most of them cut to the heart of the issue. My hesitation comes from the fact that the guide just felt like extra to me. Between the ages of 9-12 years old, most of us still have an open relationship with our daughters and I didn't feel that this guide really added anything to the original book. I really think that Lies Girls Believe could be used on its own, along side with honest conversations.
