《自尊女孩手冊:培養快樂自信女孩的100個建議(傢長和教師必讀)》作者試圖通過這些建議，告訴傢長和教師如何：

•認識當今女孩子麵臨的機遇和挑戰；

•幫助女孩子提升內在力量，應對學校、朋友及社會對她們的要求；

•調控女孩子的行為，維護和提升她們的自尊；

•支持女孩子的學習，教會她們自律，幫助她們實現自己的目標。

所有的父母都希望自己的女兒擁有自尊。自尊可以使她們更加快樂，對自己的生活更加滿意，使她們充滿自信，確保她們更好地學習、娛樂、愛和溝通。

隨著女孩子年齡的增長，她們的自尊時高時低。如果傢長們知道女孩子可能在什麼時候陷入睏境，變得脆弱和易受傷害，並導緻其自尊水平低下，他們將能給女孩子提供更大的幫助。

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. Girls may have a propensity to do things not because they judge it to be right or helpful but rather to stay in people's good graces. The result is that they can become cut off from their own true selves. Praising Girls Well points the way to using praise in a manner that will boost a girl's inner confidence, help her to understand it's okay to make mistakes, and guide her to trust in her own judgment. Brimming with practical tips for everyday use, this is a handbook to revisit time and again for our girls' grandest-and smallest-successes.
