Father of 3 girls
I was recommended this book by a friend. As a father of three girls ages 5, 2 and 1 I found this book informative, educational and emotional. It is a book I will continually refer to as a girls get older. I want to be the best father I can and provide my girls a beautiful, loving and happy childhood. This book will be a great resource over the years to help me. I highly recommend this book to any father wanting to be the best dad they can.

Narration style made me fearful
The tone of voice was unsuitable for this book. Learning about the world of girls is both wonderful and fearful, however, the narration style just made me fearful. I’ve read an earlier version of this book but thought it a good idea to listen to an update, I’m trying to stay relaxed and feeling good about being as informed as I can be for my growing daughter. Yikes! I’m now on edge and might seek out the latest book to read it in my own calm way.

Perfect Parenting Manual!!
This book is a must read for all parents of girls - even extended family & educators & people who work with girls!
Extremely informative, I experienced many “ah ahh!!” moments which enlightened & validated my journey so far as a single mum to an African-Australian 14 year old daughter.
Thank you Steve & Sharon Biddulph for dedicating your life’s work to developing wise & honest resources with a uniquely Australian perspective that have helped raise & heal generations. 👏🏻🌸💕💙🌸🌸

Great book
Great content for new parents. However, the narrator came off as very melancholy throughout the whole book. Increasing the playback speed made him sound a little more joyous.

Great insight. Poor delivery.
Good updated information and insights for parents on how to deal with the modern day pressures of girlhood.
But it wasn't very enjoyable due to the narrator's tone. It made parenting girls sounds a lot more bleak than it needed to be. Probably not the desired intent of the author.
