A girl who loves herself:

She has ambitions and goals because she believes in her strengths.
She takes care of her mental and physical health because it's natural to take care of someone you love.

She seeks healthy relationships because she believes that is exactly what she deserves.
She is happy and feels secure because she knows that her most steadfast friend and capable ally is herself.

Based on scientific research, as well as their personal experience as parents, the authors of this book present seven key points with simplicity and clarity that will help us raise happy girls in a world where it is not always easy, and sometimes very difficult, to be a girl.

Like every generation before us, we want our children to live better lives than our own – safer and with better prospects. We want our daughters to be inquisitive, independent, and ambitious. More than anything, we want them to have the courage to be authentic. We want them to understand who they are and to truly love themselves. If we had to summarize our role as parents, it would be this: we want to raise girls who love themselves as much as we love them. Unconditionally.
