From the cradle to college, tell your daughters the truth about life before they believe the culture's lies. For mothers with girls newborn to eighteen, Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter is simply a must-have audiobook. Youth culture expert Vicki Courtney helps moms pinpoint and prepare the discussions that should be ongoing in the formative years. To fully address the dynamic social and spiritual issues and influencers at hand, several chapters are written for each of the conversations, which are: 1. You are more than the sum of your parts. 2.

5 Conversations from a Christian mom's perspective

I bought this book without knowing that it should have been "5 Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter - from a Christian Mom's Perspective". The conversations are on topics we all need to discuss with our daughters, but when the reason for "being virtuous" is because "that is God's way", I ended up fast-forwarding through that chapter. I didn't the narrator's tone of voice - it was very authoritarian and preacher-like. I'll probably not buy books narrated by this person. However, I thought the advice was good and Vicki Courtney reveals her challenges with her own children, so the reader felt like the advice came from someone who did experience the struggles that we all go through in raising our daughters.

Excellent statistics quanifying the issues

Would you listen to 5 Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter again? Why?

Vicki writes with excellent points and backs them with numbers. I found this refreshing and yet another way to illustrate to (my daughters and others) the importance of all of these issues.

Understanding the young woman in our house

What was one of the most memorable moments of 5 Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter?

The honesty of the author - sharing her own challenges as mother and as being a woman herself

What about Pam Ward’s performance did you like?

She is sincere

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh and cry. Regocnising myself touched deeper than I thought it would. Never had conversations like this with my mother and it is a gift being able to equip myself to treasure conversations like this with my beautiful 16 year old daughter

Any additional comments?

Mothers!!!! Listen to this!!!

Fantastic and Practical Advice

I was worried at the beginning that this book may have too much a religious undertone. However, by chapter 5 she began to provide statistical findings that were not related to any religious organizations throughout. Even though scripture was quoted, I was armed with so much valid information I can confidently and easily have a conversation with her about sex and her health now. Thank you!

A must read if you have daughter(s).

Why cant they hand these books out to new mothers. Helpful advice & discussions we should already know. We really need to help navigate our children to God.
