Celebrating Girls

A mother’s guide to supporting a girls’ self-worth as she grows: “Inspired.”—Isabel Allende   In this book, Jungian psychologist Virginia Beane Rutter offers a wide variety of everyday things women can do to strengthen a girl’s sense of self and ensure confidence and healthy self-esteem throughout her lifetime. Whether rooted in traditions of many cultures, new and creative, or connected to the daily tasks of everyday life, they offer practical ways to support daughters, and celebrate the passage from infancy to adolescence.   “Adeptly suggests ways mothers can use traditionally feminine pastimes—shopping, storytelling, even brushing or braiding a child’s hair—to instill in a daughter a strong sense of self.”—Pubishers Weekly
