200 Ways to Raise a Girl’s Self-Esteem: An Indespensable Guide for Parents, Teachers & Other Concerned Caregivers
Studies show that young girls often develop faster than their male counterparts, grasping concepts such as math and sports just as easily — until they reach early adolescence. Then, girls quickly fall behind boys, victims to society’s confusing dictates of what being female means. According to parenting expert Will Glennon, reinforcing a young girl’s self-esteem through carefully considered “boosters” is the key to helping girls hold their own in the world. This guide helps parents and teacher

Alanna Jones is a certified recreational therapist who has compiled an interesting set of 104 games and activities that social workers, recreational therapists, and some educators and school counselors (in substantially separate classrooms for behavior/emotional disorders) can use. The book is organized into activities that build (1) teamwork, (2) self-esteem, (3) communication, (4) self-discovery, (5) anger management, and (6) coping skills. Almost all activities are designed for elementary school aged children, but Ms. Jones, under each activity, presents variations–either in the activity itself or in the intended age group.The crucial part of using these activities occurs after the activity is done. This is the “debriefing” part of the activity. It is absolutely necessary to do this debriefing in order that the youngster(s) arrive at some understanding of the activity just completed, and its possible meaning to them. It is assumed that the reader is comfortable with this type of debriefing, and has the skills to intercede in case the activity or debriefing are going south. The things I liked about this book are: (1) Ms. Jones’ energy and positive thinking about youngsters and her desire to provide them with challenging and thoughtful moments; (2) She explains each activity or game fully, provides lists of materials needed, gives some advice on structuring the activity; (3) This is therapy “in action,” so it attracts the interest and energy of the youngsters.I had two small questions about some of this book: (1) Self-esteem comes from accomplishing something, and I thought self-esteem activities were the weakest section of the book; and (2) In regard to anger management, these activities must be regarded as an adjunct, not the central core, of an anger management therapy program. When readers have a good therapeutic anger management therapy program at their facility (in their classroom), Ms. Jones’ activities can help.I was impressed by Ms. Jones’ selection and believe it will help counselors, therapists, coaches, and recreational therapists.

I selected this book in order to complete a required communications class assignment that I am presently enrolled in. The title of the book caught my attention. I am an Assessment Coordinator and I work with approximately 10 to 20 individuals at a time with a new group every three weeks. Several of the issues that I need to address that are a major concern with our clients are covered in Alanna Jone’s book. These are issues dealing with self-esteem, communication, anger management, self discovery and coping skills. As instructors and parents we often find ourselves in situations where people are resistant to learning. The many reasons for this vary.
Some of the first activities I used from Alanna book were the Creative Coloring, the Good, Bad and Ugly and Create a country activities. The activities gave individuals an opportunity to make their oun choices, to support and encourage one another and to empower each other to succeed. Sometimes it can be very difficult to get our clients to participate. These activities helped the most introverted members of our groups blossom.
The activities were successful in that they helped the clients to discuss personal issues that were holding them back from succeeding and moving forward. The activities helped individuals who do not like to participate to feel more a part of the group and not so alone.
After working with our clients and using some of the activities in the book we can see improvement in the areas of concern mentioned above. The activities can be altered to fit the needs and concerns of each unique group. Alanna’s book provided yet another powerful resource of creative ideas and activities to help our clients grow. I would recommend this book not only because it has many useful ideas and activities, but because it will spark your creativity to develop even more as well.

This book is a great resource for anyone working with children or adolescents! I bought it because I needed ideas for activities for elementary school students, but it has been useful for the adolescents I work with, too. There are a lot of really creative ideas in here, and I have used it consistently since the day I got it. All of my coworkers think I am so creative now! This is a very useful book and well worth the money.

I was a little afraid the teens at my high school would find the games “babyish” or too “corny” but let me tell you they LOVE these games. Any book that can get 13-18 year old Latino and African American males engaged is a must have!

The good parts of this book: the recommendations are practical, reasonable, and, in the long run, pretty straight-forward. Some examples of the 200 items: Get your priorities straight; Teach her to set healthy boundaries. In all, not a bad checklist.This book probably is useful to parents or caregivers who need to review or talk about these items. For parents or caregivers to a child with moderate academic, social, or emotional problems, however, this book is insufficient. Readers should turn to books by Myrna Shure, Martin Seligman, and others.This book matches a similar book for boys, from the same publisher, 200 Ways to Raise a Boy’s Emotional Intelligence. Why is it that we think of self-esteem for girls and emotional intelligence for boys?

Bottom Line: It’s a buy for any parent, teacher, or caregiver working with girls.Best feature: Each of the 200 “ways” has a short action step individualized for both parents and teachers. Makes implementation of the ideas much easier.Pet peeve: No index….aarggh!

What a find! Borrowed from the library and soon to become a core source of smart, practical and important strategies for helping my daughter navigate her complicated world and become a person of strength and generousity.
It is the type of book useful to those who enjoy well written parenting books and those who want something that they can pick up and put down, as time permits.

Highly recommended for parents struggling to parent to ensure their children – especially daughters – to grow up with a high sense of self-esteem, confidence, and respect for themselves and others. Get this book, it helps parents look at negative situations in a positive way to create a win-win for both the parent and the child.
