About the book:

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.
Strong as a Girl 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 ed, mental health, educational achievement, sexual abuse and assault prevention, body image, eating disorders, and self-compassion (for girls and the people raising them). Whatever your challenges or hopes for your girl, you will find ideas and solutions in actionable steps, simple activities, and easy-to-implement scripts and conversation starters.
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 for caregivers. Strong as a Girl is an easy-to-read, one-stop-shop that 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.
