I keep a copy of the book by my bedside as a reference and as a reminder that I am working to build a reciprocal relationship with my own daughter and to ensure she goes into the world as a confident, knowing woman.

In Parent Like It Matters, Dr. Janice Johnson Dias offers an impressive and bold roadmap for those seeking to engage passion and joy as essential elements of developing girls who thrive. Her honest and rigorous offering is a gift to parents, educators, and all adults in search of tools to cultivate the brilliance of our girls.

I am beyond proud of my mom and her new book Parent Like It Matters! This story is a combination of faith in the power of children voices and guidance for focus-driven parenting that will inspire a new generation of young change makers.
