About this item

Parents have never had a tougher job than now. Our culture bombards our daughters with unhealthy role models, misleads them about the consequences of early sexual activity, and even adds to the confusion of adolescences by encouraging them to question their “gender”.

Meg Meeker has been a pediatrician for more than 30 years, is a mother and a grandmother, and has seen it all. She knows what makes for strong, happy, healthy young women - and what puts our daughters at risk. Combining that experience with her famous common sense, she explains the 11 steps that will help your daughter - whether she’s a toddler or a troubled teen - to achieve her full human potential.

In this book, you will learn:

  • The four biggest questions every daughter has - and that you must answer
  • Why it's the quality, not the quantity, of your daughter's friends that matters
  • The essential, complementary roles that mothers and fathers play
  • The dangers of social media - and how to help your daughter navigate them
  • What every daughter needs to know about God
  • Why depression is often a "sexually transmitted disease"
  • How to launch your daughter into successful womanhood

If you have a daughter, and worry about her future, you need Dr. Meg's advice.

    Professionally presented in common everyday terms, stories and analogies. Highly considered, ethical and moral recommendations throughout. I strongly recommend to any fellow parent with a daughter they even remotely care about. I trust it will improve her life and yours as it has mine.

    This book provides parents a great resource to raising your daughter and sons in an era of tech, the new norm of social teenagers and what will surprise you is that you didn't know everything. Working in a MS myself, what Dr. Meeker writes about I have seen. So many things pre-teens/teens are struggling with is in this book. Please read, not just for yourself, but for the young lady you are raising.
