The Conscious Parent's Guide to Raising Girls: A mindful approach to raising a strong, confident daughter * Promote self-esteem * Build resilience * ... (Conscious Parenting Relationship Series) Paperback – January 1, 2017

I love this book and its philosophies so much; they fit very well with my parenting style! I have found lots of great information so far, and I highly recommend it.

While the book is co-author by Rebecca Branstetter PhD, it lack the cohesiveness of her of the books in the The Conscious Parent's Guide to ADHD and The Conscious Parent's Guide to Executive Functioning Disorder. The overall content in the book is helpful and sound advise. Many of topics, especially in the early chapters, are gender neutral the advise and information is very useful. My uneasiness is has more to do with th lack of cohesion between the The Conscious Parent's Guide to Raising Boys compared to the focus and content in The Conscious Parent's Guide to Raising Girls. The difference in focus and content appears to be more a product of the different writer's background than the gender differences in parenting. It appears to me to be structural series oversight which could use some reflection.One idea cover the early years in 2 books based on age 0-2 and 2 to 4 having the author of the Raising Boys focused on attachment, parenting reflection, self control, beliefs before behavior, and connection. Then authors of Raising Girls cover routines,developmental milestone, specific examples, and "drawing on your network". Then maybe separate out girls topics from boys but in without the huge difference in topics. After all, girls are prone to the bungee family effect and boys can have eating disorders.Again the book is excellent, I would highly recommend it to anyone having a little girl, but I would also recommend reading the Raising Boys book even if your having a girl. A for those having a boy, I would highly recommend reading both books as well.PS Does anyone know if The Conscious Parent's Guide Books have a relation to The Conscious Parent by Tsabary? Because they don't seem to; however, without there being a The Conscious Parent's Guide to becoming a Conscious Parent, it is rather confusing.

We love Savanah!

As the mother of two young girls (age 3 and 6), I found this book tremendously helpful. The chapter on peer relationships and the mean girl phenomenon really helped me prepare my daughter as she makes new friends in elementary school and helped me respond to the issues that come up for her along the way. This book goes all the way through the tween and teen years and gives me a good idea of what lies ahead. This was the first that I have read of the conscious parents series, I will definitely be reading the rest!

Very aspirational in nature with no real tangible advice to raise a confident girl. No "how tos" or modeling various scenarios. Just a high level of what you should be doing as a parent. Very disappointed.

Read this book if you want to understand the developmental challenges of each age group so you can focus on what is presently happening with your daughter, plus what to expect for the next phase of her life. It skillfully blends big picture ideas about conscious parenting with specific resources and ideas for how to support your daughter. This book would be a great gift for new parents.
