Publisher's Summary
A parenting expert reveals the four biggest threats to girls' psychological growth and explains how parents can help their daughters develop a healthy sense of self.
In Girls on the Edge, psychologist and physician Leonard Sax argues that many girls today have a brittle sense of self-they may look confident and strong on the outside, but they're fragile within. Sax offers the tools we need to help them become independent and confident women, and provides parents with practical tips on everything from helping their daughter limit her time on social media, to choosing a sport, to nurturing her spirit through female-centered activities.
Compelling and inspiring, Girls on the Edge points the way to a new future for today's girls and young women.
What the critics say
"Dr. Sax once again combines years of experience with compelling research and common sense to intelligently challenge the status quo of what it means to raise a healthy daughter. Girls on the Edge offers skills parents can incorporate to feel more competent with our girls and young women."—Florence Hilliard, director of the Gender Studies Project, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"Dr. Sax's deep commitment to girls developing a positive 'sense of self' is woven into the fabric of this book. Girls on the Edge is a must-read for every parent of a girl as well as for every adult who teaches girls."—Dr. Mary Seppala, head of school,Agnes Irwin School, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania
"The world is way different from what it was a couple of years ago; this is essential reading for parents and teachers, and one of the most thought-provoking books on teen development available."—Library Journal

Best parenting book author
Level-headed, based on both research and his experience as a clinical psychologist for girls and boys. Plenty of good anecdotes from his patients. Much better than most parenting books I find are based simply on their experience with their own kids, or based solely on academic research with no real-world connection/validation. I reco his other books too.
