raising girls

[itshowwedo]

I'm chatting to an office-mate who also has two daughters, and we were wondering whether anyone can recommend a book on raising girls? I'm asking here because I want something which won't raise my feminist hackles... Any thoughts? I'm aware that the world has changed since I went through girl-hood and I'm hoping to find a good reflective book to help me think through how things might be for my two.

Thanks for that! Sounds a bit odd to me, TBH. But you a. read it ages ago and b. didn't write it so I won't start wittering on here!

I must read through the webchat and see what people's objections are.

i can't believe it just struck me that yeah, he didn't have to be all Mars and Venus about it. Children are from Earth.

But. stubborn in my defence

wish I did write it. I'd hire better shills if I had

Have just bought Delusions of Gender and have vowed to finally get round to reading my copy of "How to talk..."

As an aside, hearing seven year olds being advised to have their legs waxed is the sort of thing that makes me feel like a lie down in a darkened room.

I dont treat my girls any differently to the way I would boys. I role model what I want to see and the children copy.
