Your job is difficult. You are on the front lines.

You hear what the girls think, and you know their parents are often unaware of issues affecting their daughters. In spite of your best efforts, parents may disregard your opinions and ignore your advice. What Your Mother Never Told You will help parents listen.

Girls may take your advice but forget it the next time they're in the midst of a sticky situation. What Your Mother Never Told You will help girls remember.
