Publisher Description
From the cradle to college, tell your daughters the truth about life before they believe the culture's lies.
For mothers with girls newborn to eighteen, Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter is simply a must-have book. Youth culture commentator Vicki Courtney helps moms pinpoint and prepare the discussions that should be ongoing in their daughters' formative years.
To fully address the dynamic social and spiritual issues and influencers at hand, several chapters are written for each of the conversations, which are: 1. Don't let the culture define you; 2. Guard your heart; 3. Have a little sex respect; 4. Childhood is only for a season; and 5. You are who you've been becoming.

"Great resource for all moms to read and keep on their shelves. The tone of the book made me feel like I was sitting at coffee with a seasoned mom who has done her research, sought God's wisdom through the Bible and prayer, and shares her experiences candidly. I appreciate that there are tips for three different stages of development - 5 and under, 6 to 12, and 12 and over - which help equip moms to have these conversations at each stage or to jump in at whatever stage you daughter is currently in."

" Great book that gives thoughtful insight about how to create conversations with your daughter about how she will interact with the world that she lives in while not conforming. Liked Vicki Courtney's approach as it gives the latitude to process what you should plan for long term. "

" There is definitely a lot to think about while rasing daughters. I will go back and reference this book in the future. "
— Toni, 12/14/2013 -

— Brian, 12/7/2013 -

" I'm glad I read this book but am thankful it's not the only parenting book I've read! Good for information/statistics and thought-provoking about what messages I'm sending to my daughter. Definitely not a heart-of-the-issue type book (but that's what Girl Talk and Age of Opportunity are for!) "

" I'm not 100% in agreement with everything she says in this book, but I also see the parallels between what she says and the way my mother raised me. Maybe that's why I don't agree 100%. ;-) "

" I found this book very insightful and I will definitely use a lot of what I've read. However, I felt at time that the tone of the book was kind of judgemental, especially the second half. Wasn't too keen on that. "
