About this item
Mother-daughter book clubs are a great way to encourage your child's reading, and for girls and moms to bond with each other while also socializing with friends, but they can do much more than that, suggests educational psychologist and parenting coach Lori Day. They can create a safe and empowering haven where girls can openly discuss, question, and navigate some of the challenges of girlhood today. Day draws from experiences in her own club and her more than 25 years in education to offer a timely take on mother-daughter book clubs. She provides succinct overviews of eight of the biggest challenges facing girls and young women today, giving mothers the information they need to moderate thoughtful conversations, while weaving in carefully chosen book, movie, and media recommendations; plentiful discussion questions and prompts; and related activities that guide and extend discussions and make clubs fun.
About the Author
I live in Newburyport, Massachusetts, a beautiful seaside community north of Boston. My husband Geof lives with me, as do our two cats, Peach and Fog. That's Fog there on our book cover, stalking the White Rabbit.Even though I have loved all of my different roles involving working with children in schools over the past twenty-five years, nothing has been as rewarding as raising my own daughter and co-author, Charlotte Kugler, and watching her grow into an opinionated young woman with a broad and deep understanding of the world around her, and a powerful voice of her own...especially in writing, a passion we share.I am happy to be able to combine what I have learned during my career and as the mother of a grown daughter with current and timely observations, anecdotes and advice for moms and other female role models working with girls to help them all successfully navigate their lives as females. I help girls and moms understand what is going on in the culture around them so that they may develop self-confidence and wisdom based upon a stronger inner voice that flourishes within the context of, but also apart from, the noise of popular culture. I look forward to sharing what I know about the benefits of joining together with other women to nurture girls in ways that are uplifting and enjoyable. Please join my online community at http://www.motherdaughterbookclubs.com.Our mother-daughter book club was the most transformative experience of my parenting journey and my relationship with my daughter. May it be for you as well!
