When a Daughter Hates Her Body

A new book entitled 'Perfect Girl, Starving Daughter,' claims that 90% of teen girls 'hate their bodies.' But what to do about it? And what about the growing numbers of teen daughters that are labeled 'over-weight.'

Father of four beautiful daughters, Kevin Swanson addresses the issue as a great opportunity for loving shepherding and tender discipleship. On the one hand, there is the problem of the modern body-worshiping cult, something that didn't exist prior to 1900. Then there are sinful, idolatrous, and gluttonous habits that every parent needs to address in the lives of their children during the formative years.

This program would be excellent for any family with children who exhibit any kind of individual Idiosyncrasy or special need, which is just about every child on earth.
