With negative messages bombarding our girls on a daily basis - from misguided adults, from peers, from the media - how can our daughters possibly feel good about their bodies? While you may not single-handedly be able to change society, there are ways to make sure that your daughter's sense of self is strong and sustaining. In fact, this hands-on guide offers 101 ways! Selected Reading Questionnaire.

I bought this book because I have two daughters, ages 7 and 2, and want them to grow into strong, confident women who don't rely on other people to validate their self-love. There are a lot of helpful suggestions in the book, but the one thing that I've truly learned from reading it is the best way to help your daughter love her body is to be a good role model and love your own body. No topic of conversation should be taboo, and open those conversations when your daughter is still young.
