Childhood Matters: Encouraging Girls to Be Strong from the Start - July 19, 2009 - Free Audiobook

We treat girls and boys differently starting at birth, from the things we buy for them to how we talk about gender. Although parents and caregivers may not intend to do it, girls are often subtly discouraged from displaying strength, smarts, and feistiness. Join in on this crucial conversation about how we raise girls, and what we can do to encourage their true individual natures. Also hear about a strong force to reckon with: the media. Guests: Lisa Izzi, founder and president of Girls Are Champions. Dr. Kay Kleinerman, an educator, writer, and vocal coach in the Bay Area.
