Parenting Girls Safely Through their Teens

Join Kim McCabe, author of ‘From Daughter To Woman’ as she discusses practical ways to make the child’s journey safer, kinder and better supported, so that everyone can better enjoy the adolescent years.

This talk is for everyone interested in steering their daughters happily through their teens, from parents of daughters age 8 – 18 years, flummoxed grandmothers and caring aunties too, and anyone who works closely with pre-teen and teenage girls. Much of what Kim talks about applies to boys as well as girls. The talk lasts an hour followed by a twenty-minute question and answer session. Kim's book will be on sale and she will be available to sign copies afterwards. Cash tickets available on the evening from 6.30pm to 6.55pm only. I wish to complete Eventbrite sales by 5pm.

Best-selling author and psychologist Steve Biddulph says, “I can’t believe how much depth and the range of ideas Kim has put into one book.”

“One thing is I know that this is the type of book I can keep dipping in and out for a long time. I found it all insightful, without any preachiness. I was reassured from the outset … this book has helped boost my confidence that I am doing a good job to help [my daughter].” Zoé, Mother of Pre-Teen Girl

“Important piece of work. I have never understood the pressures on my daughter until today. It gives me a lot of tools to be a better dad.” Jim, Father of Teen Girl

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I implemented a fraction of what I heard on Thursday evening with my daughter on a meal out together last night, she opened up to me in a way she never has before.” Mother of girl 10
