 Through candid and astute tips and guidelines, Life Talk for a Daughter openly addresses the challenges and issues faced by girls (and their parents), on their journey through the teenage years into adulthood. In doing so, it offers practical and independent advice that may help them select the right path to take.
Split into four parts – Life Skills, Relationships, Practical Stuff, and Challenges – Izabella Little’s Life Talk for a Daughter is perfect for dipping into as and when advice is needed. Whether it’s dealing with tough times at school, trying to understand Mum and Dad, falling out with a best friend, or falling in love, the author is sensitive to the dreams and anxieties faced by young girls today. Her clear and comprehensive advice goes straight to the heart of the issues at hand – she is honest without being judgemental, sensitive without being sentimental.
Seeking to address everyday questions such as “ Why doesn’t the boy of my dreams notice me?”, “Why doesn’t anyone like me?”, “Why can’t I stay out until midnight?” Life Talk for a Daughter is also a wonderful tool for encouraging discussion – key to ensuring that both parent and daughter emerge from the teenage years with their confidence and sanity intact.
Warm, full of common-sense and offering practical insight into the values of self-respect and personal integrity, Life Talk for a Daughter is a charming and thought-provoking book that will provide girls with the skills necessary for surviving life’s challenges with grace and humour.
