Renowned sociologist Janice Johnson Dias has devoted her life to nurturing and training girls to become changemakers—whether through her investment in her daughter Marley's humanitarian work or through her work with the GrassROOTS "SuperCamp" she co-founded for girls. In these unprecedented times, her work has never been more urgent, as we ask ourselves—How do we teach girls to change the world? Dr. Johnson Dias knows that self-realized girls are created through intentional parenting. That's why she tasks parents with a personal challenge—to find their own joy. The book offers strategies for having daily discussions of racism and sexism, identifying heroes and mentors, learning together, and uncovering your girl's passions. Within the pages of Parent Like It Matters, parents will find the invaluable tools they need to raise resilient, optimistic girls who determine for themselves what their world will look like.
