The signature topic
Raising Her Ready.
What to teach your daughter, age by age.
Parents cannot stand beside their daughters through every message, friendship, car ride, or difficult decision. They can build the skills and the relationship that help when they are not there.
Drawing on the RTD guide, Kevin M. Coles leads a conversation about practical preparation through each stage of growing up, from early boundaries to the first phone and greater independence.
The focus is on everyday choices, useful language, and actions families can practice together.
What the conversation covers
Useful beyond the room.
Practice the decision.
Phones, sleepovers, parties, and rides: talk through the moment before the pressure arrives.
Keep the door open.
Responding in a way that makes it easier for a daughter to ask for help when something goes wrong.
Who it is for
Bring parents
into the conversation.
Schools & parent associations
A shared starting point for conversations families need to continue at home.
Fatherhood & parent groups
Practical ways to support daughters without taking over every decision.
Community & workplace groups
