The Mother-Daughter Project
Author: SuEllen Hamkins
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440623198
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Few things are more meaningful—or more complicated—than mother-daughter relationships. This helpful parenting guide helps moms navigate their relationships with their daughters to create strong ties and a close, respectful connection that will last a lifetime. SuEllen Hamkins, MD, and Renée Schultz, MA, originally created the Mother-Daughter Project with other women in their community in the hopes of strengthening their bonds with their then seven-year-old girls. The group met regularly to speak frankly about such issues as friendships and aggression, puberty, body image, drugs, and sexuality. The results were amazing: confident, assertive teenage girls with strong self-images and close ties to their moms. Equally important, the mothers navigated their own concerns about adolescence with integrity and grace. From their dedication and efforts arose The Mother-Daughter Project, an incredibly useful parenting handbook that details the success of the Project’s groundbreaking model, providing mothers with a road map for staying close with their own daughters through adolescence and beyond.

Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter
Author: Melissa Francis
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1602861757
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The Glass Castle meets The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in this dazzlingly honest and provocative family memoir by former child actress and current Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis. When Melissa Francis was eight years old, she won the role of lifetime: playing Cassandra Cooper Ingalls, the little girl who was adopted with her brother (played by young Jason Bateman) by the Ingalls family on the world's most famous primetime soap opera, Little House on the Prairie. Despite her age, she was already a veteran actress, living a charmed life, moving from one Hollywood set to the next. But behind the scenes, her success was fueled by the pride, pressure, and sometimes grinding cruelty of her stage mother, as fame and a mother's ambition pushed her older sister deeper into the shadows. Diary of a Stage Mother's Daughter is a fascinating account of life as a child star in the 1980's, and also a startling tale of a family under the care of a highly neurotic, dangerously competitive "tiger mother." But perhaps most importantly, now that Melissa has two sons of her own, it's a meditation on motherhood, and the value of pushing your children: how hard should you push a child to succeed, and at what point does your help turn into harm?

The Barefoot Book of Mother & Daughter Tales
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781846865725
Category : Audiobooks
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Entertaining folk and fairy tales from around the world focus on girls who learn from their mothers to face life with a spirit of adventure, kindness, and courage. This book brings together mother and daughter tales from all over the world. Each of the stories has a distinctive theme and flavour, but all of them share a way of looking at the feminine that embraces both dark and light, good and evil, showing us that the path to maturity requires learning how to deal with all aspects of life, and living wholeheartedly, with courage, generosity, and openness to change. The heroines of these stories include familiar figures such as "Demeter and Persephone," from ancient Greece; "Vasilisa the Beautiful," from Russia; and "Naomi and Ruth," from the Jewish tradition. There are also less familiar tales, among them "The Waterfall of White Hair," from China; "Great Mother Earthquake," from the Iroquois; and "The Girl and Her Godmother," from Norway. All of the stories deal with themes that challenge and guide us on many levels: the death of a beloved parent, the jealousy of a stepmother, the necessary hardship that often attends the passage to mature womanhood. At the same time, they show us how joy can arrive at the most unexpected moments, and how courage and adventure can fill every girl's life. Drawing on the collective wisdom of many generations, this is a book for mothers and daughters of today to share and to celebrate both together and as individuals weaving the story of their own lives. AUTHOR: Josephine Evetts-Secker teaches English Literature at The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A practising Jungian analyst, she has made a study of the feminine in folk and fairy tale from both a literary and a psychological perspective for many years. The Barefoot Book of Mother & Daughter Tales is her first book for children. Helen Cann was born in 1969. She trained at the School of Art, University of Wales, graduating in 1992. Since then, she has worked as an illustrator and artist, exhibiting in several European countries. Her work is in private collections in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, The United Kingdom and The United States Ages 6+ REVIEWS: "This beautiful book is a treat for the eyes and the soul." --The Story Bag National 80 full colour illustrations Double CD
