Mother to Daughter

by Harry H. Harrison Jr.

Warm and fuzzy, anchored in values, and filled with simple words of wisdom, this beloved, bestselling book for parents speak to the important business of raising daughters, and distill their timeless lessons into one nugget of wisdom per page—some lighthearted, some serious, some practical, and some intangible, and all supported by a strong moral backbone.


Freshly updated, the book begins with the Five Keys of Parenting, a guide to navigating the extraordinary, even if sometimes exasperating, journey of parenthood. It’s filled with helpful reassurance: Tickle her, play with her, give her piggyback rides. She’s not breakable. And accepting bittersweet reality: When it’s time—Let her go.

Milé rady a pripomienky na uvedomenie, avšak je z nich veľmi cítiť americký štýl života, ktorý chvalabohu nie je vždy prítomný aj u nás. Takže dúfam, že niektoré z daných rád u nás nie je potreba, no samozrejme je to vždy individuálne.
Ale inak príjemné čítanie na dva večery. 🙂

I didn't turn out quite like they said but I still enjoyed reading this as a child.

Пару лет назад читали книгу «Отец — сыну» и «Отец — доче». Это совершенно потрясающий набор советов. Один совет — одна страничка. Можно использовать как чек-лист, что ты успел сделать, а что еще стоит успеть сделать. Особенно, воодушевляет количество заложенных страничек с пометками, ага, вот это мы уже попробовали, а это еще не делали.

Мы уже напривозили и надарили этих книг друзьям и знакомым. А у меня самого наконец-то дошли руки прочитать и сделать рецензию на сразу двойной набор «Мама-доче» и «Мама-сыну».

I received this book as a gift while pregnant with my daughter. I originally thought it would simply be a quick, fun read - nothing of "true substance." I was wrong! This book is chock full of spot-on, wonderful advice. My mother (a seasoned mom, unlike myself) read it and agreed that it was the best mother/daughter advice book she had ever seen. We recommend this book for any new mother. Beautiful, encouraging, tried-and-true words of wisdom!

Great words of wisdom. My daughter is now grown but still great advice on what is truly important in life and how to be a good person :)

Fun and easy read. Too simple though. I hoped there could be more contents because it is published into a book. But it’s Funny and practical.
