How Can I Help My Daughter?

Dear Mothers,

Like you, I am first and foremost a mother and like all of us, I too, at times struggle with my self-worth and body image. It is hard to help our daughters with something that we ourselves find challenging. So how do we help our daughters nurture their best self?

To answer this question, I published How Can I Help My Daughter? A Mother’s Guide to Nurturing Her Daughter’s Best Self (Mosaica Press), the must-read guide to raising emotionally healthy daughters, presented in a clear, easy-to-read format, and based on empirical data, Torah, Hashkafah, and real-life stories. Topics include:

• Building a positive self and body image

• Cultivating a healthy relationship with food

• Discovering tools for healthy emotion regulation

• Developing self-compassion

• Determining values and boundaries

• Speaking to ourselves with respect and kindness

• Countering weight stigma

• Identifying and preventing eating disorders
