Raising Worry-Free Girls: Helping Your Daughter Feel Braver, Stronger, and Smarter in an Anxious World, (Paperback)

This book was everything I expected it to be and more. It provides so many examples of real life situations and helps with getting over obstacles. This should be a read for anyone raising girls these days!

In the introduction of this book we are told that 'Anxiety is a childhood epidemic in America today'. Statistics show that 1 in 4 young people deal with anxiety and even though worry isn't anything new, it seems that the age of these worriers is becoming younger all of the time and that 'girls are twice as likely to face it as boys'. Sissy Goff addresses this issue as she instructs mothers and daughters how to deal with the 'Worry Monster' and much of her advice revolves around the assurance that God loves them. Understanding, Help, and Hope are the main topics in Raising Worry-Free Girls and I like that each chapter concludes with Key Points to Remember and Understanding Yourself and Your Daughter Better. Goff writes as if she is in a conversation with readers and she uses Bible scripture, down-to-earth advice, and real life experiences to help mothers help their daughters. This is a wonderful resource and I advise you to have your highlighter handy. I will be sharing Raising Worry-Free Girls with my daughter as we both help her six year old daughter navigate through her adolescent years. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House and I am under no obligation to write a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
