Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Michael Gurian, whose national bestseller The Wonder of Boys presented a radical and enlightening view of parenting sons, now offers a groundbreaking approach to raising daughters. In The Wonder of Girls, Gurian, himself the father of two girls, provides crucial information for fully understanding the basic nature of girls: up-to-date scientific research on female biology, hormones, and brain development and how they shape girls' interests, behavior, and relationships. He also offers insight into a culture mired in competition between traditionalism and feminism and a new vision that provides for the equal status of girls and women yet acknowledges their nature as complex and distinct from men. He explains what is "normal" for girls each year from birth to age 20; what developmental needs girls face in each stage; how to communicate effectively with girls; and how to cope with developmental crises such as early sexuality, eating disorders, parental divorce, and more. With personal insights, practical tips, real-life anecdotes, and accessible science, The Wonder of Girls creates a new parenting paradigm. Key elements include: a nature-based approach to why girls are the way they are the connection between the need for profound attachment and the physical and brain development of girls support for a girl's inherent need for intimacy tools to protect girls' self-esteem and emotional life a new approach to girls' character development and rites of passage. With this scientifically based developmental map of girlhood, Gurian equips parents with a comprehensive guide for raising daughters. Challenging our culture to examine and embrace a crucial piece of the puzzle missing thus far, The Wonder of Girls elevates the dialogue on parenthood.

Talk to Me, Dad, a deeply troubling novel of child abuse, brutalization and revengethis novel has been a particular pleasure to read; weve been touched by many of its components, particularly your courage in telling a story of this disturbing nature. You manage to effectively combine relentlessness with sensitivity in your presentation, and thats no small feat. The Scott Meredith Literary Agency Ive read literally thousands of books and I can safely say that it reads like a dream. What a beautiful job youve done! I couldnt put it down and was sad when it ended. All good books leave me sad because you become invested in the people, in their lives. Jeanna After reading your book, I could close my eyes and it was just like a movie playing in my mind. Jeff When will there be a sequel? Peggy I began this book some 23 years ago, before child abduction and abuse were reported in newspapers. Without the confidence of Maye, the encouragement of Peggy, and the time given by many other reviewers, I would have been hard pressed to continue this project. My special thanks go to each of them.
