Just given birth to my third female! So I have 3 girls under 5. Does anyone have any recommendations for good reads around the subject of raising girls. I'm especially interested in confidence (as my main observations in the workplace with regard to difference in gender are about this). But any books in this area are of interest (if there any that's d give me a laugh too that's be much appreciated!!)


Thanks

It was interesting to note that on the subject of the gender difference that was found as regards pocket money this week, I caught some kind of expert saying that the reason that boys get more is that they will negotiate whereas girls will just take what is given to them...this of course spreads into the workplace where women do not argue their corner...a psychologist friend said that women will be labelled a negative 'pushy' and men will be praised as 'assertive' in the same circumstances....

Good luck finding something

    • Thanks, Pugwash. Probably James Barber? If that's the case, would he/they not have also set up some system for maintaining the information on the boards? Maybe they didn't care when they were (sadly) voted out, but I would have thought they would have made sure something was still in place?

    • Hi. I’d like a recommendation for a driving instructor please? Manual car. Ideally patient and not costing the earth.    thanks in advance 
    • I wonder if anyone can help.  My age 16 child has been forced to leave school due to prolonged ill health, onset after Covid.  It’s incredibly isolating and I was wondering if they are any local clubs (art perhaps) for her age group, or just meet ups in the area- perhaps other children out of school/ home educated who would be keen to meet.  Anything very active is out of the question- so sports wouldn’t be possible.  I’d be very interested in speaking to other parents in my position about how they manage.
