Raising Girls Who Can Boss It by Alison Longhurst
Are you slightly terrified of bringing up a girl? Then this is the book for you Being made of sugar and spice and all things nice isn't going to cut it in the real world, so this book looks at what girls need to be made of to boss life and what parents can do to empower their daughters. Cutting through the experts' view, you get a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, largely anecdotal view of parenting from the coalface. From gender stereotypes to sex, body image to bullying, it tackles all the big issues surrounding raising girls from birth to teens, giving insight and real proof on how you can bring up a strong and confident girl, without completely losing your mind. Woven with inspiring thoughts taken from a notebook entitled, Wishes and Dreams, the book embraces the dying art of parenting from the gut to raise girls who can grow wings and fly.
Alison Longhurst is a mum to four girls aged 14, 16, 18 and 19 and step mum to one aged 23. She is also a trained teacher and a Taekwon-do instructor, running her own successful company, teaching hundreds of students a week. She started a blog a year ago, www.madhousemum.com where she blogs about life with teenagers and other things related mainly to parenting. She is on Facebook: www.facebook.com/MHouseMum and Twitter @MHouseMum. In November 2016, she was a runner up in the Best Writer category at the Mumsnet Blogging Awards. Last year she was writing a blog a day, often Mumsnet's chosen 'blog of the day'. This year Alison decided to turn some of that material in to a book, but didn't want to limit this first book to just writing about teenagers. Bringing up five girls and being a Taekwon-do instructor has given her huge insight in to what we need to be doing to empower our daughters. This book is an insight in to a girl's world and what she is doing as a parent to influence it.
