Growing together

A kind and practical handbook for parents and carers who want to raise strong and confident girls from an early age. The book shows how to lay a solid foundation during the first years of school, which girls can draw on throughout their lives.

With empathy and gentle humour, Kate Rope opens up topics that are key for today's schoolgirls. She guides parents on how to help girls get to know themselves, listen to their emotions, and build a healthy relationship with themselves. She also addresses questions of identity and accepting one's own uniqueness, so that girls can be exactly who they are, and their loved ones can support them in this.

The book also sensitively deals with topics related to the body and adolescence: puberty, relationships and sexuality, bodily autonomy and consent, abuse prevention, the relationship with one's own body, and the risks of diet culture and eating disorders. It will help you encourage your daughters to have the courage to take risks, make mistakes, speak up, and build healthy relationships.

The author draws on the experiences of girls from different families and cultures, as well as on the insights of experts in child development and mental health. She offers easy-to-understand advice, specific tips, and prompts for important conversations without being overwhelming with too many instructions.

Untangled is a readable guide that helps parents become a firm support and guide their daughters through the first challenging stages of adolescence with greater confidence and calm.
