When the world wants girls to grow up too fast, how do you help your daughter navigate boy craziness, modesty, body image, media, and Internet safety? The foundation for an emotionally healthy teen girl is built between the ages of 8 and 12. Mothers of tween girls can direct and guide their daughters by developing a close relationship with them. In Six Ways to Keep the Little in Your Girl, Dannah Gresh shares six ways to help you grow confident, godly young women. Also included is a quiz to test your relationship, fun activities to do together, and Scriptures to use in prayer.
As the mom of a little girl who is not all that far away from 8--I thought it would be good to get a glimpse into what's to come. Yikes! I must admit it's all a bit intimidating, but I LOVE that there are resources like this book to both give me creative, insightful and inspiring ideas to connect with my girls and to be proactive in guiding them through the tough questions/phase of life ahead.
I highly recommend this book to moms (and dads) of little girls. For more information and books and cool ideas head on over to Secret Keeper Girl (www.secretkeepergirl.com). I have a few more books from there in my pile to read.

Oh, I need this book! We have a 7 year old girl, that I definitely want to keep "little" for as long as possible!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! My little girl just turned six and I think she is the only girl in her kindergarten class that still wears little girl clothes from Osh Kosh!
