About this audiobook

This is the ultimate guide to raising our daughters right―from parenting authority and trusted family counselor Dr. James Dobson.

Peer pressure. Eating disorders. Decisions about love, romance, and sex. Academic demands. Life goals and how to achieve them. These are just some of the challenges that girls face today―and the age at which they encounter them is getting younger and younger. As a parent, how are you guiding your daughter on her journey to biblical womanhood? Are you equipping her to make wise choices?

Whether she’s still playing with dolls or in the midst of the often-turbulent teen years, is she truly secure in her identity as your valued and loved daughter? In the New York Times bestseller Bringing Up Girls, Dr. James Dobson will help you face the challenges of raising your daughters to become strong, healthy, and confident women who excel in life.

Combining his experience as a counselor with common sense and Christian values, Dr. Dobson addresses:
  • The increasing pressure modern culture places on little girls and the impact it has on self-esteem
  • The important role a dad plays in his daughter’s life—from childhood through the teenage years
  • Practical advice for building habits as a family that will create lasting memories
  • Navigating technology and entertainment
A trusted parenting resource, Bringing Up Girls answers your most pressing questions and offers encouragement for the journey of raising the next generation.
