Dr. Masarie's "Raising Our Daughters" is not only engaging and appropriate, but it is perfect and offers a fantastic forum for supporting parents as they raise their daughters. I am also the mother of two girls, and I must say that reading this book AND creating a group is what makes it really work. I love this book and would love to see that it was required reading for all parents " - Cathy Newman, Head of Sunstone School (Portland, Oregon) "Dr. Kathy Masarie and her approach to raising emotionally healthy children has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I have put into action many of the ideas provided in the discussion groups, helping me to instill self-confidence and nurture a close, open and mutually rewarding relationship with both my daughter and my son." -- Katherine Melchior Ray, International Marketing Expert (Tokyo, Japan)
