I've heard both Raising Girls and Raising Boys are terrific books. I bought Raising Boys when I was pregnant and forgot about it. Thanks to this thread I will start reading it tonight

[~me~]

What a wonderful and timely thread!

I have Raising Boys as I have two boys and this has reminded me to purchase the raising girls book too as I now have a little princess to add to my princes

I will look on the book depository website..even though it's a UK website the exchange rate is good at the moment and they post world wide free, I have used them many times before. So it usually works out cheaper in the end.

Winter, I have solved the mystery!!

Was in a bookshop the other day and saw a book called raising girls with a different cover and by a different author so I had a look to see if it had the bit about horses in it and it did!! LOL.
The one you read is by Gisela Preuschoff and the one I read is by Melissa Trevathan and Sissy Goff. No wonder we were confused, lol.

Hi heaven, perhaps the thread about self esteem you were looking for is "the search for validation"... In the emotional development section. It's one I started and people discuss good boy and good girl etc. Hth. Would add a link but I am on my iPhone ( feeding dd off to sleep).

No wonder there were no horses in your book!!!! So your book is also called Raising Girls but just different authors? I'll have to keep an eye out for your version! See I'm not mad yippee!!

which version is better? i am interested in reading one, cause i have 2 girls myself. :-) (no horses though LOL)

[Heaven]

Oh yes Anna, I'm sure that was it!!!!

Weird there's 2 books out with the same name!! Confusing!

I have no idea which one is better, I've only read the one so far!!

I have this book.... Mine is "Raising Girls" by Gisela Preuschoff. Has 2 little girls faces on the cover.

I bought mine from the BB online store
I haven't read it yet!!!

The book has also made me think of another thread here somewhere (I can't remember where) where we were talking about building self-esteem in our children. Some people were saying SE should come from within and therefore instead of saying to your child 'wow, I think you did really well' or something you should rephrase it to 'you must feel proud of yourself' and not saying things such as 'good girl' etc. Anyone remember that thread??

Pinky McKay talks about that stuff in her book "Toddler Tactics"....

[Heaven]

I'm reading that book at the moment Shanti! Good, isn't it??

[Shanti]

Toddler Tactics is awesome!! All of Pinky's books are
