Expert advice for parents and caregivers to raise strong girls from the get-go, building a foundation in the formative elementary years that will set them up to thrive.

Author of Strong As a Mother, Kate Rope brings grace and humor in a new, non-judgmental guide to tackling the most important topics in the modern lives of elementary-age girls. Strong As a Girl is a compassionate, expertly-sourced guide for parents and caregivers on how to build a strong foundation in the early years and to truly see and support your girl for who she is and wants to be.

It features the voices of girls of all different identities, backgrounds, and life experiences alongside insight from experts in areas such as child development, puberty and sex education, mental health, educational achievement, sexual abuse and assault prevention, body image, eating disorders, and self-compassion (for girls and the people raising them).

Rope keeps the to-dos to a minimum, focuses on the most impactful things you can do, offers extensive compassion for the inevitable mistakes we all make, and includes resources and conversation-starters. Strong As a Girl empowers parents and caregivers to set their girls on the road to a strong future so that they—and their girls—will feel confident entering the more turbulent waters of middle school, the teen years and beyond.

“Strong As a Girl is a must-read for anyone raising, educating, or caring for girls and young women. Kate Rope weaves her deep understanding of their development together with insights from a wide range of experts to create an engaging practical guide filled with powerful wisdom. This book offers invaluable strategies to help our daughters grow into their strongest, most confident selves—and it’s my new go-to gift for my friends and colleagues who care for girls!” — Lisa Damour, PhD

“Raising resilient girls has never been more important than it is now. Strong As a Girl is an essential tool for doing so, an outstanding, common-sense guide to supporting our young daughters, and helping them—long before adolescence—to build the skills they will need to thrive throughout their lives.” — Pegg Orenstein
