You've got daughters? Then you've got questions. Parents, teachers, and others involved in shaping the character of girls have a lot on their minds: Are girls really fundamentally different from boys? If so, should they be treated differently? Whoever said that girls are "sugar and spice and everything nice" never met my teenager. What can I do? My adolescent daughter seems to be on an emotional roller coaster. One minute she's giddy with excitement; the next she's moody and withdrawn. Is this normal? As a mom, I so badly want to be "best friends" with my daughter. Why isn't it working out the way I dreamed? How does a dad's role in his daughter's life influence her character and decisions-including her eventual choice of a husband? How can grandparents contribute to raising a healthy granddaughter? What's the best way to educate girls? How are girls affected when their parents divorce? What should we be doing to shape the next generation of women? In Bringing Up Girls, Dr. James Dobson, America's foremost authority on parenting, tackles these and many other questions, offering wisdom and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.
