Essential Parenting Guide for Parents Raising Tween Daughters Debuts
The Californer/10120768

ATLANTA - Californer -- Raising a tweenage daughter is no easy task. That's why Dr. Lisa Sistrunk, human development professional and motivational speaker has released her debut book, "Her 12th Year: She's Not So Little Anymore" to guide parents as they tackle hard to discuss conversations like sex, drugs, self-love, menstrual cycles, friends, driving, and even spirituality with their daughters ages 11 to 14.

When Dr. Lisa's daughter – Kamaria – was 12 years old, she would have weekly conversations to prep her daughter for her journey into womanhood.  The book is written with those notes in mind from a parent's perspective. Teenage girls can also find value in the book as they read the "Kamaria's story" sections to know that they aren't alone as they grow, develop, and mature into young women.

According to Kamaria, "As a tween, I thought these conversations were HIGHLY awkward and uncomfortable, especially the one about sex... However, as I grew into my teen, and then young adult, years, I knew there was nothing I couldn't tell my mother."
