Six Ways to Keep the "Little" in Your Girl: Guiding Your Daughter from Her Tweens to Her Teens (Secret Keeper Girl® Series)

Dannah Gresh has written a powerful, yet easy to read book to help moms know what to say and do to prepare their young daughters ages 6-12 for their teenage years. Covering topics such as boy-craziness, modesty, media & internet safety, and body image, Dannah provides a reassuring yet emphatic voice of reason in how to parent little girls.

Dannah opens the book with a striking personal example. She was raised in a “good Christian home” yet lost her virginity at age 15. She told no one for many years but carried the guilt with her. She decided to research how she could better prepare a future daughter to avoid the pitfalls that teenage girls encounter. She found the best time to protect teenagers is to start teaching them about sex, boys, and purity in their childhood years.

It’s a scary world out there, so if you have a little girl or granddaughter in your life, this book will provide you with concrete, and age-appropriate steps to take to protect and empower her to make good choices.
