Gisela Preuschoff - Raising Girls - Why girls are different – and how to help them grow up happy and confident

On which occasions were you especially sad?

On which occasions were you especially excited or thrilled?

Now

In which situations do you behave like a typical female/male?

Which qualities do you particularly like in girls?

Which qualities do you particularly like in boys?

Which qualities do you particularly like in your daughter?

What do you wish for your daughter?

Which aspects of her life are you happy about?

I hope that Raising Girls provides you with concrete guidelines on how to approach your daughter’s upbringing. I have drawn on experiences with my own daughter, scientific findings and the experiences of parents derived from my own research and consulting work. I have thought of the little girl I once was, and all the girls and women I have known during my life.

Fathers and brothers also play a critical role in raising girls. The experiences a girl has with the male members of the family follow her all her life. A woman does not allow herself to be defined without a masculine counterpart (and, of course, the opposite also applies), just as there is no loud without soft, no light without dark and no large without small! And so there are no daughters without fathers, even when the latter – for whatever reason – live separately from their daughter and/or have completely broken off contact.

You have a girl – who has her own distinct personality – and it really matters to develop this gift in the true sense of the word. I would like to accompany you on this journey. My point is to emphasise dangers and to prevent them; but above all, I would like to reveal an excellent pathway to cooperation.

Apart from this, I would like this book to be a journey of discovery of your own roots and notions, during which you may recognise what opportunities the birth of a girl offers you personally.
