I guess I should of asked this BEFORE I ordered them :) I just got my 11yr old "The care and keeping of you " "the care and keeping of your emotions" and " A smart girl's guide to boys" Can you tell we are having some issues?? :) I hope she really likes them!
Kristinc-which books do your girls have?
I'm sooo excited to get them now, I can't wait!!
Yes, they are excellent books. My girls and I have been reading them since they were 6ish. Now at 9 and 11, they can talk to me about anything and they are very aware about puberty, appropriate social issues, and all that fun stuff that goes along with this age.

Yes, my daughter likes these, and we definitely used them as discussion starters..... there's one more that I can't remember that she has.... it's something about getting along with friends..... like maybe "the girls guide to being a good friend" or something. That was really good as well.
They are excellent! My daughter has been reading them since she was 9, she read the money one (which helped a lot) and the Care and Keeping of You. There are other ones, I think she also read the one on manners. We plan on getting through them all!
Great books. Have bought them for all the nieces and recommended them many times to friends with girls this age. Hope she enjoys them!
Yes! I got these books for my daughter when she was 9 and she reads them intently and asks me frequent questions. She feels more "in charge" of the conversation now, it's not just me telling her these things.
Yes, it is good.
My daughter is 9 and loves these books.
It is meant for this age... and for the Mom too and/or to read together.
Because, to me, these books are meant to be discussed.... with your daughter and so that, the child can ask you questions as she reads it.
Just go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble websites, and you can see all the titles of the books and the reviews of it.
I read all of the historical fiction books they had when I was a kid and LOOOVED them. I've heard that these books are great, too.
My daughter loves them. She frequently quotes her "Care and Keeping of You" book. :)
Care and keeping of you is hands down the best book for girls! My daughter has been reading bits and pieces of hers since she was 9!
YES!!! They are great!!! My daughter just turned 10, and I got her the Care and Keeping of You for her birthday. She has read it about 5 times. She is reluctant to talk about "personal" things with me, so this book was a godsend. It actually made her feel comfortable enough to ask me some questions. She also has the one about dealing with friends, and I plan on getting her the rest. They are great!!!!!!!
The two books you mentioned are fantastic! So easy to read, not intimidating (for the daughter OR the mom!!!), and great conversation starters. Glad you chose those for your daughter. Enjoy this time together. Peace, B.
