Raising Girls Who Can Boss It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781999899707)

Alison Longhurst is a mum to four girls aged 14, 16, 18 and 19 and step mum to one aged 23. She is also a trained teacher and a Taekwon-do instructor, running her own successful company, teaching hundreds of students a week. She started a blog a year ago, www.madhousemum.com where she blogs about life with teenagers and other things related mainly to parenting. She is on Facebook: www.facebook.com/MHouseMum and Twitter @MHouseMum. In November 2016, she was a runner up in the Best Writer category at the Mumsnet Blogging Awards. Last year she was writing a blog a day, often Mumsnet's chosen 'blog of the day'. This year Alison decided to turn some of that material in to a book, but didn't want to limit this first book to just writing about teenagers. Bringing up five girls and being a Taekwon-do instructor has given her huge insight in to what we need to be doing to empower our daughters. This book is an insight in to a girl's world and what she is doing as a parent to influence it.
