About the Book

The book is designed to help parents intentionally nurture confident, curious, and empowered young women.

The book explores meaningful ways to cultivate a love of reading and learning while helping girls develop a healthy sense of self-worth and feel confident in who they are and how they see themselves. It also emphasizes the importance of shaping a positive mindset early in life—giving girls the foundation to believe in their abilities, embrace their individuality, overcome challenges, and move through the world with confidence.

At its heart, the book encourages parents to recognize the powerful role they play in helping their daughters become self-assured, resilient, compassionate, and extraordinary young women.

About the Author

From the time her son was an infant, Dr. Monica Hawkins often heard the same question from parents, teachers, and coaches: “What are you doing differently?”

People consistently noticed how alert, intelligent, and curious he was as a baby. As he grew older, those observations continued. He stood out for his intelligence, confidence, articulate nature, strong sense of self-esteem, and natural leadership abilities.

Those experiences inspired Dr. Hawkins to write her first book, Raising Boys Into Extraordinary Young Men. Her goal was simple but meaningful: to encourage and empower parents to intentionally raise boys who grow into intelligent, self-confident, compassionate, and extraordinary young men.

Recognizing that parents of girls share the same desire to nurture confidence, character, and leadership, Dr. Hawkins later wrote Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women. Through both books, she hopes to provide parents with practical encouragement and inspiration as they help their children recognize their potential and become the very best versions of themselves.

Beyond her work as an author, Dr. Hawkins is a proud wife and mother, sports enthusiast, fitness lover, mentor, tutor, motivator, and member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

Dr. Hawkins earned her Ph.D. from George Mason University, a Master of Public Health from George Washington University, and a Bachelor of Science from Howard University.

Dr. Hawkins has also shared the inspiration and messages behind both of her books through media appearances, including an interview with Stephanie Gaines-Bryant on the Sisters4 Fitness show on YouTube.

Customer Reviews

This is an excellent book that is right on point. It is a good road map for extraordinary parenting of young girls.

Raymond J Henson
Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women, is an excellent, realistic book that discusses how to raise wonderful, intelligent girls. Dr. Hawkins' road map for guiding your daughters through the daily trials that young girls face in today's changing world is extremely thought provoking. Topics such as your daughters being happy with who they are and how important it is to shape their mindset are discussed. All parents should pay attention to the advice that is presented in this must-read book.

Clarice E. Gaylord, Ph.D.
Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women is an outstanding must-read book. It is very concise and discusses how to build self-esteem in young girls by them repeating "Positive Affirmations", ways for them to achieve academic excellence, and the need to control their social media and electronic use. I work with young adults and look forward to you doing a book presentation and signing with our organization.

Michele Shorter
I have been an athletics' Coach for more than 40 years of my life, and it's just dawned on me after reading Dr. Hawkins' book, "Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women", how God has designed all of life to follow the same simple pattern. Being careful to detail, teaching fundamentals, creating a safe environment, developing enthusiasm, developing self-confidence and the belief that you can succeed, re-enforcing the need to be focused, communicating effectively, teaching the need to work hard and to persevere, and setting goals are all the ingredients I needed to be successful as a coach in producing a season with positive results. All these are points that are emphasized in the different chapters of Dr. Hawkins' book, "Raising Girls Into Extraordinary Young Women". Both coaching and raising girls are results driven ventures, as well as many other phases of life (do it the right way and the product will be extraordinary). Following Dr. Hawkins' plan of raising your daughters will surely produce end results that will not only make you proud parents, but will also produce leaders that will help make this world "A Better Place for You and Me".

Absolutely loved reading this book! Dr. Hawkins wrote a must-read book that is warm, straight-forward, and easily understandable about how to raise high achieving, self-confident, and phenomenal girls. I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, counselors, and coaches who are raising or teaching young girls. The book is a great resource for every stage of a girl’s life.

This parenting book is written in a warm, straightforward, and easily understood way. It is a very meaningful resource that encourages parents to teach their daughters to be self-confident and how to always have a positive mindset. Dr. Hawkins shares parent-daughter interactions that illustrate beautifully that girls respond to constant praise and encouragement. The book is a positive, encouraging, and practical must-read for all parents who want to raise exceptional young women and leaders!
