review 1: *Five Conversations... with Your Daughter* is a Christian-based how-to guide on raising daughters in a worldly atmosphere. In this day and age, traditional values have fallen by the wayside as girls and young women are bombarded with social media, peer pressure and multimedia approval of scandalous behavior and appearance. Because parents these days were also raised in a similar environment (think Cosmo magazine), it has become more difficult to raise well behaved and conservative children. This book helps guide discussions about upholding one's reputation, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drugs and more. Somewhat repetitive throughout the book, I still think it's a great way for parents to begin addressing very real issues with their kids. As a parent of five (... more3 girls, 2 boys), I also plan to read *Five Conversations... with Your Son* as a companion guide.
review 2: E-book provided by NetGalley.Parts of this book are EXACTLY identical to blocks of text from "5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Son". And my reviews for both will be similar too.Three stars because I enjoyed reading this one more, probably because I'm a daughter, but for me it had the same issues: 1. "Misogynistic" doesn't even begin to describe how awfully prejudiced lots of poor generalizations here are. 2. Too many arguments based on religion. 3. Like in "5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Son", the author shares a few things that my only word for them is "hypocrisy".This book has lots of things I had a problem with - but the author surely has a point here. The writer isn't the most open-minded person I've read, but she is smart and knows how to present her arguments in a logical, consistent, coherent way to defend her views and opinions."A book for CHRISTIAN MOTHERS" describes this book better than "book for PARENTS". less
