About the book ‘Raising Girls’

‘Raising Girls in the 21st Century’ is both a guidebook and a call-to-arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age, and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards.

You can purchase a copy of ‘Raising Girls in the 21st Century’ on Booktopia.

‘Raising Girls in the 21st Century’ is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It’s a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women – or anywhere in between.

Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With ’Raising Girls in the 21st Century’ he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping parents to deal with the modern world and getting the media off the backs of our daughters.

‘Raising Girls in the 21st Century’ is powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message.
