What the Expert Says:

I have a wonderful book to recommend on the topic of building self-esteem in girls. It's called The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence. The author is best-selling author and renown girlologist Rachel Simmons. (author of the ground-breaking Odd Girl Out) Have a listen to my podcast interview with Rachel and then decide if this book is what you're looking for.
