Publisher's summary

If you have a daughter, it would be surprising if she doesn't struggle with anxiety and worry - either in short episodes or for longer periods. For a variety of reasons, childhood anxiety rates are soaring, especially among girls. Today's parents need to know what contributes to anxiety and worry and how they can empower their daughters to overcome troubling emotions.

In this immensely practical book, veteran counselor Sissy Goff shares how you can instill bravery and strength in your daughter. Addressing common age-specific issues, Goff gives you the tools to help you and your child understand why her brain is often working against her when she starts to worry, and what she can do to fight back. With your help, she will find the anchoring truth of God's strong, safe love for her and the confidence she needs to thrive.

Wonderful!

A must read for parents of girls at ANY age! I can’t wait to use the tools explained to help my daughters! Thank you!

Helpful

I have 5 daughters! Have ordered the kid workbook to see if it'll work for us. Lots of nuggets of wisdom and practical tips to work on.

great content!

Having followed Sissy on IG for a while, I wish they had picked a narrator that better matched Sissy's vibe. This narrator sounds like a bedtime meditation.

Would and have recommended

I personally wasn’t a fan of the narrator, she sounded to robotic for me so it took a bit for me to focus. Over the book was helpful though. Gleaned good stuff from it.

Lots of tidbits I know I’ll use in the my parenting journey!

I didn’t love the narrator and some of this was very dry and repetitive. However, my daughter doesn’t suffer from anxiety and I still felt there was lots in here that will help me in empowering her, building her up and making her braver to deal with our big world. Would recommend!

great content, worst narrator of all time

it was painful to listen to the narrator. I've listened to dozens of books and never been especially bothered by a narrator until this one. Wow... just terrible. My wife heard me listening to this book and thought it was a computer generated voice...

Anyway, narration aside. the content is extremely good and had a lot of very practical advice I am implementing to give my girls the tools they need to defeat anxiety and worry. I'm so grateful to have this book and look forward to seeing my girls thrive in an area that is becoming increasingly rare.

Helps your young girls, and also you older women

What I loved some much about this book is how much I learned about my own inner self. While I don’t have daughters (yet) just sons (also make sure to read Raising Emotional Boys) this book has helped me with my nieces, my younger sisters and most of all myself. It’s help me realize why I did certain things or acted a certain way when I was younger. I plan to re read this book many times, I’m just so grateful for Sissy putting this book out there to benefit not only so many girls, but women as well.

Sissy Goff is fantastic!

I love Sissy Goff and her books, but I am going to have read this one and not listen to it...the narration is AWFUL. it sounds like AI, or a robot, and there is either no inflection, or it's given at odd times.

Encouraging Read

I couldn’t be happier that I purchased this book because now that I’ve listened to it, I will most likely listen to it again and again as my girls grow. I found the first few chapters a little overwhelming, as she talked about so many different anxieties. I began to wonder if any children could ever be okay. But I then found myself in tears in Part Two, wishing my own parents had a tool like this book to help them understand me when I was a child - one who had experienced trauma they didn’t know about and as a result wasn’t the “normal” kid they expected me to be. Sissy’s suggestions on how to empower girls to overcome rather than to suppress their big feelings is exactly what I want for my girls. This book will be a tool we can use in our home as they grow and I pray we’ll see them understand how smart, brave, and loved they truly are.

Excellent Advice

Insightful, encouraging and very practical information. Lots of tools are given to help apply information.
