The Myth of the Perfect Girl: Helping Our Daughters Find Authentic Success and Happiness in School and Life

New insights and practical solutions for overworked and stressed-out girls and their parents.

In today’s achievement culture, many girls seem to be doing remarkably well–excelling in honors and sports and attending top colleges in ever greater numbers–but beneath the surface, girls are stressed out and stretched too thin as they strive to be “perfect.” In their efforts to juggle schoolwork and extracurriculars, family life and social lives, friends and frenemies, as well as relationships online and IRL (in the real world), many girls begin to lose sight of who they really are, and instead work overtime to please their friends, parents, teachers, and others.

The Myth of the Perfect Girl explores the changing dynamic of today’s culture of perfectionism, and offers practical, thoughtful solutions to promote the healthy social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness of today’s young girls and women. The book is an  inspiring look at how we can help our youngest generations create their own blueprint for personal success and happiness.

With honesty, empathy, and a fresh perspective, The Myth of the Perfect Girl presents advice to empower both parents and girls themselves to discover what true success and happiness means to them — and how to work to achieve it.

We all know that our attitude determines our altitude. We sink to the depths of doubt and despair when we have become resentful toward others or when we doubt God’s Divine Providence. Someone or something on the outside upset us and separated us from our spiritual roots. We began to flounder, and always we looked for the answer on the outside. But the secret to spiritual recovery is to be found within. By reconciling with conscience and learning to be more forgiving toward others, our natural restorative properties are unblocked and we let go of our toxic relationships with wrong associations and substances.

The Right To Be The Grown-Up: Helping Parents Be Parents to Their Difficult Teens — Facilitator’s Guide, 6 copies of Parent Handbook, plus “affirmations” card deck

Jerome Price and Judith Margerum have joined forces to bring together an essential model for helping parents to help themselves as parents. Therapists will find here a host of practical, easy-to-implement strategies for working with parents to reclaim their lives when their children’s behavior is out of control. Each Right to Be the Grown-Up package comes with a “Facilitator’s Guide” and 6 copies of the “Parent Handbook.” The package is designed to be used in groups or when working alongside parents in a private therapy setting. (The authors also provide a series of parenting affirmations — or lifelines — on wallet-sized cards so that therapists can give them out to their clients.)

The Facilitator’s Guide is laid out into 5 sessions – Getting Started; Reactivity; Information; Coalitions/Teamwork; and Making It Work. Step-by-step guidance is provided on how to lead parents gently but determinedly through a series of learning modules, each of which will clarify parenting goals, instill hope, provide tools, and “unfuzzy” the boundaries that have faded over time. Practical exercises and support materials are offered throughout.

The Parent Handbook follows the sequence of the guide and offers a slew of helpful homework assignments, definitions, and mottos designed to reinforce the information presented there and to bolster parent confidence even at the toughest of times.

Developed by the Michigan Family Institute, this skills program has already met with great success through workshops and trainings based on it. Price and Margerum show what it looks like to move from theory to action when it comes to improving the lives of parents and their adolescent children.
