《自尊女孩手册:培养快乐自信女孩的100个建议(家长和教师必读)》作者试图通过这些建议，告诉家长和教师如何：

•认识当今女孩子面临的机遇和挑战；

•帮助女孩子提升内在力量，应对学校、朋友及社会对她们的要求；

•调控女孩子的行为，维护和提升她们的自尊；

•支持女孩子的学习，教会她们自律，帮助她们实现自己的目标。

所有的父母都希望自己的女儿拥有自尊。自尊可以使她们更加快乐，对自己的生活更加满意，使她们充满自信，确保她们更好地学习、娱乐、爱和沟通。

随着女孩子年龄的增长，她们的自尊时高时低。如果家长们知道女孩子可能在什么时候陷入困境，变得脆弱和易受伤害，并导致其自尊水平低下，他们将能给女孩子提供更大的帮助。

From the best-selling author of Raising Confident Boys and Raising Confident Girls , how parents and teachers can bolster a child's genuine self-esteem rather than foster a false sense of confidence Girls like to have their accomplishments noticed, but sometimes the need for praise can spiral into a constant quest for perfection.
