Make Time for Fun, Teaching, and Connection

With all the pressures and influences of today’s world, Christian moms worry about their little girls and how they will grow up. Quality time between a mom and a daughter can be the greatest protection against the world’s pressures to make a girl mature too quickly. Knowing this, Dannah Gresh, popular speaker and founder of the True Girl conferences, has developed a host of dating ideas to help moms invest the time needed to deeply connect with their daughters.

8 Great Dates includes fun mother-daughter get-togethers, perfect for one-on-one or for a small group of moms and their energetic 8- to 12-year-old daughters. Each date focuses on one topic surrounding beauty and dignity, provides lots of fun, and imparts a message that enhances life and faith. The book provides a mom with everything she needs to plan and carry out the activities and includes topics such as:

• The power of true beauty—what makes a girl beautiful?
• Truth or bare fashions—how to balance fashion and dignity
• Hair, makeup, and clothes—who should be your model?

As a supplement to this book, check out the True Girl Podcasts which were created to be enjoyed by tween girls, their moms, and young-at-heart girls.  The podcast is a 15-minute drive at a time that Dannah Gresh and Staci Rudolph host.  Season 1: 8 Conversations about True Beauty & Dignity 

“I wish Secret Keeper Girl had been available when our daughter was moving through her tweens. She and her mother would have loved sharing these ‘great dates’ together.”  —  Dr. James Dobson

“The dates have provided a beautiful springboard through fun memories for me and my girls to communicate about growing up, finding identity in Christ, and how to biblically navigate through the tricky pre-teen years.” — Melanie
