After reading the second half of Girls on the Edge, I took mental notes regarding a couple of ideas.
The only thing I did want to note on before I cover the concepts in the text
was that many of the suggestions regarding teaching or raising girls can be
applied to men. One of the points that was made in the text was that it’s
important to encourage your daughter to play sports that focused on different
sets of muscles. It was also mentioned that you know your daughter better than
their coaches. The same can be applied to men. The second half of this book
almost took a look women as a second thought. I did like how the author made a
point to mention that men’s and women’s bodies are built differently which
means they can be prone to different types of injuries. Another bit I liked was
the section about how earlier didn’t always mean better. Regarding reading,
listening to music, and other supposedly developmentally beneficial activities,
it’s important not to force anything onto our children.
