Girls on the edge Why so many girls are anxious, wired, and obsessed--and what parents can do

Sax offers the tools we need to help them become independent and confident women, and provides parents with practical tips on everything from helping their daughter limit her time on social media, to choosing a sport, to nurturing her spirit through female-centered activities"--
