Confident Moms, Confident Daughters: by Maria Furlough

Helping Your Daughter Live Free from Insecurity and Love How She Looks


What we say to our daughters lasts a moment. What we show our daughters lasts a lifetime.

No matter how much we try to tell our daughters that they are beautiful and lovable as they are, words are not enough. And if we're honest, we don't always set the best example. How can we build up confident girls if we struggle to be confident ourselves?

With deep compassion, Maria Furlough delves into the root causes of our insecurity, offers biblical guidance for seeing ourselves as God sees us, and shows how to model our newfound confidence to our impressionable daughters. Speaking as a daughter, a youth leader,
and a mother, Furlough shares her own struggles and triumphs, as well as expert advice from a pediatrician, a nutritionist, a Christian counselor, and more.



My Thoughts:

This is such a great book for mom's to read and share with their daughters what they glean from the book. This book covers so much information from appearance and body image to nutrition to spiritual and physical fitness.  It encourages moms to be like Jesus.  She includes verses and ends each chapter with a confident mom challenge and confident daughter questions as well as a prayer.   She reminds us that our daughters need words of encouragement and positive reinforcement of what they are good at, what they excel in, and how her God given gifts are being demonstrated in her life. 

One thing I found really helpful in this book was how to talk with our daughters. How to take a conversation that could come out negatively and give it a positive twist. How to get to the real issues at hand, what they are really thinking and maybe why they are thinking that way. 

Honestly I could go on and on about the book and whats so great about it, but you really should read it for yourself. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a book that helps you connect with your daughter and the world she lives in. 

I was blessed to receive a copy of this book courtesy of Revell. I was not asked or required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
