“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding ofhuman behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.” IfsKnowsMenWorldBelieveHas BeensImportantGirlUnderstandingAttitudeStudyTalentTaughtDevelopmentOffersBehaviorDaughterResourcesFemaleDenyHumankindUniquenessKnow MeHuman BehaviorNeedyOur DaughterDepriving Book:Raising a Daughter: Parents and the Awakening of a Healthy Woman Source: Raising a Daughter: Parents and the Awakening of a Healthy Woman
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.” IfsThinkingNeedsFeelsTryingBookMomentsRunningLife IsNightForceWonderSupportSceneLateIllusionLogicMiracleFilledSurpriseOppositionUrgesLogicalIrrationalDisagreementTherapistsBedtimeClose Friends Book:Raising a Daughter: Parents and the Awakening of a Healthy Woman Source: Raising a Daughter: Parents and the Awakening of a Healthy Woman
