The author and childcare expert Steve Biddulph’s latest book is out today 20th April. Following on from his book on raising boys the new book: 10 Things Girls Need Most To Grow Up Strong and Free, tackles the possibly even trickier subject of how to raise girls.
There is a great deal of concern about girls health and wellbeing at the current time. Much of this focuses on the way social media can work to undermine a girl’s confidence and set up damaging rather than empowering role models. For a taste of the book’s central message have a look at the article by Lorraine Candy for the Sunday Times magazine. This is available on Steve’s website. There is quite a harsh message for parents here but see what you think, even if you don’t have young girls to raise.
