Where Has My Little Girl Gone? By Tanith Carey

More than ever there is pressure for young girls to grow up too quickly, to dress like adults and to conform to a thin, 'sexy' ideal. These pressures come from all sorts of places in our modern world, from the media and the internet, to beauty pageants for young girls, retail stores selling bras for seven year olds or provocative messages on kids clothing and pole dancing kits for kids.

This pressure not only means that girls today are not enjoying their childhood as they should but can also adopt destructive behaviour raging from eating disorders and self-harm to anxiety and low self-esteem.

A huge debate is raging about why it is happening and who is to blame, but while governments might try to sort out some legislation, there has been no practical help or advice given to parents on how to stop the 'Lolita Effect'. This book changes that.

Packed full of insights, tips and expertise from psychologists and specialists, Where Has My Child Gone is an essential guide for any parent wanting to safeguard their daughter's childhood so she can grow into a healthy confident woman in her own time. It is a well-researched and important book for any parent trying to raise pre-pubescent girls in the modern world.
