Raising Girls Who Like Themselves will give you...

A detailed description of the 7 pillars that every girl who likes herself must have and why
The 7 parenting pillars for raising your girl to like herself includes: Power Perspective, Body Confidence, Body Ownership, Mastery and Independence, a sense of Calm, Strong Relationships, and Authenticity.
Proven strategies to build and strengthen each pillar
Every strategy is backed by extensive and high quality research and the advice of the world's leading experts. We have put all the puzzle pieces together to give you a complete parenting approach.
Practical actions that you can implement right now
Unlike a lot of parenting advice that is very nice in theory but impossible to implement in real life, every strategy has been successfully implemented in our own busy, complicated, imperfect family.
Solutions to future problems you haven't even thought of yet

Our comprehensive approach will give your daughter the foundation skills and tools to successfully navigate the challenges that lay ahead.
Consistency and alignment with your parenting partner
We wrote this book for dads as much as we did for mums. But from our experience, we have noticed that many dads do not read as much parenting advice as mums. We have therefore added a brief "Action for Dads" section for each pillar, detailing a low-effort-high-impact technique to help your daughter thrive.
