Dr. Jen is a nationally recognized child, adolescent and family psychologist based in New York City. She is also the mental health contributor on CBS' The Early Show.

Enough already with the princesses! Teaching young girls to value their brains and character over their looks starts from day one, and is an ongoing conversation throughout their development. Thank goodness for Dr. Jen, who shows us precisely how to have this honest chat with our daughters, so that we can raise them up to be the amazing, strong, empowered creatures they were meant to be. A must-read for everyone who cares about young girls.
