Are You Dating Your Daughter?

The American Psychological Association’s research into the sexualization of girls suggests that you might want to start! The findings of two years of study by an APA task force state that music lyrics, Internet content, video games and clothing are now being marketed to younger and younger girls. The smutty content of the marketing is linked to eating disorders, low self-esteem, depression and an inability to develop healthy sexuality. In essence, the culture is dating your little girl and leaving its mark.

The best way to fight back is “parent-child connectedness” —spending time with her!

Dannah Gresh has created an entire line-up of products to help moms do just that: Secret Keeper Girl. October 1st, Dannah is releasing six new titles! (It’s been a busy year with many writers and marketers working on the launch!) At the core of these interactive products—including a full-line of creative fiction which feature mother/daughter “girl gab” on topics like boy-craziness, mean girls and itsy-bitsy fashion—is a mother/daughter “date” kit. These creative “dates” are actually backed by social science and set the stage for pro-active conversations to instill your truth into your daughter about how valuable she is before the culture tells her she has to get thinner, dress in less and look like the cover of a magazine to be valuable.

When Should Girls Start Shaving?

Posted by Dannah Gresh, Creator of Secret Keeper Girl

I was on a national call-in radio show the other day and a mom called in pretty freaked out because her fourteen year old wanted to shave. Then, a comment to Janet’s post last week ended with the question…”When do you let your daughter shave?” Well, it seems like this issue is related to the all-important topic of protecting her little-girl-hood, so let’s talk! First, let me say that I have two fourteen year old girls and I DID NOT get to pick when they began to shave. Lexi was about nine when she came to me and asked in a tell-tale voice, “Mommy, how old do I have to be to shave?” I smiled and responded, “Well, how did it go?” She revelled in letting me feel her freshly shaven legs…with only a few knicks. I began to teach her how to do it safely, and the passion passed in a few weeks until she was about thirteen. Autumn, my newly adopted daughter who being Chinese would not have to shave until she’s about ninety, took it upon herself to begin this summer. They are going to be curious at some point and that in itself might be a sign that it’s time to talk turkey! Second, let me suggest that shaving isn’t something that makes them necessarily appear older (which is something that you’ll find I blog about a lot because it is dangerous for them), but at a certain point in their lives it does make them appear…well, uh, clean! I think withholding it when it is something they desire may leave them open to being made fun of. I’d err on the side of cleanliness. What did I tell the woman who called in? I suggested she buy her daughter a razor! What would you say?
