'A refreshingly healthy take on social media and particularly good on body image' Lorraine Candy, Sunday Times

The teen years are tough - for teens and for parents. Many parents dread the moodiness, dishonesty, preference of friends over family, exam stress, and the push for greater independence. Mothers have a pivotal role to play; this is a guidebook for parents and mothers of girls in particular as they navigate the rocky teenage landscape with their daughters aged 8 to 18. It aims to help them embrace the potential of their child's teenage years by marking this time of growing maturity for girls and celebrating it with them. We celebrate birth, marriage and death, but this important life-transition from child to young adult is nowadays rarely acknowledged within an appropriate community.

With mental health issues in young people on the rise, and social media, reality television and smartphone culture serving to exacerbate these problems, it is no surprise that parents are looking for help in raising their daughters through these tricky years. From Daughter to Woman is the indispensable guide to doing just that.

"One of the things I like about this book is that it isn't patronising. It's well-written, mentions some taboo subjects clearly and in a matter of fact way, and doesn't come across as judgmental either. Some parenting books can leave you feeling like the worse parent ever but never once did I feel that whilst reading this" - Life in Rose-tinted Glasses
