Growing Little Women

I have recently discovered a really neat devotional for Mum’s to do with their daughters (thanks to Melanie!) and have embarked on a journey of biblical discovery and adventure with Hope. Hope and I meet every Tuesday night, whilst Jonathan is out at his gaming night, and tonight was week 3 – Being Brave.

We made pillowcases with verses about relying on God instead of living life in fear.



I would encourage anyone with daughters around 10 (nearing puberty – eeek!) to consider spending an hour once a week doing this bonding course with their daughter. Already I have seen a big difference in Hope’s attitude to me, and the rest of the family, making it an hour well worth spending!

In case you were wondering what this book is all about, I have included a blurb that I found online below:-

Growing Little Women ~ Donna J. Miller

Capturing Teachable Moments with Your Daughter.

Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it. - Proverbs 22:6 NLT

In a time where modesty is of little value and many kids have had at least one sexual encounter before graduating high school, children are growing up faster than ever. They experience pressures that, in days past, we’re not faced until adulthood. They encounter situations that many adults will never meet.

So how do we teach our girls to follow God when life around them at school, in magazines, and on TV teaches them to follow nothing but their passions and desires? How to we share with them that Jesus is the answer to their every question and the fulfillment of their heart’s desires? In this hopeful and insightful workbook, Donna Miller shows us how.

Growing Little Women will provide you and your special girl with teachable moments from the Word of God. Filled with engaging stories, fun activities, and lessons on life, you will prepare her to become a godly woman and establish a bond with her that will smooth her passage to womanhood. In just one hour a week you can impact the future of that special young lady and nurture a friendship that will last forever. Time is ticking. Don’t let it get away.
