A wonderfully informative book for anyone raising a girl!

This wonderful book should be read by every parent of a girl! Girls, including ages 6 through 16, meet with certain health problems -- both emotional and physical. "Our Daughters' Health covers such topics as skin care and body piercings, to weight issues and how to have healthy bones. It also discusses a woman's overall image -- including how the media portrays them, role models, sexism, etc. Besides discussing the general health issues, parents will learn how they can promote healthy habits for their adolescent daughters. This book will show parents what their daughter's need for healthy development -- thus allowing parents to give their daughters the best possible start in life. Each chapter of the book includes helpful questions that you can ask your doctor regarding your daughter, and a list of resources. In addition, readers will find charts, statistics, and myths/realities scattered throughout the book. My ParenTime recommends "Our Daughters' Health" to anyone interested in understanding and learning how to raise more confident and healthy girls. It's also recommended to anyone caring about girls ages 6 - 16. The book is well-written, direct, and packed with information!
