New Book “Stepping Stones” Transforms How Parents Navigate Puberty Conversations with Daughters

London 24/05/2025 — Parenting expert and family communication specialist Lily Wright announces the upcoming release of her groundbreaking book, “Stepping Stones: How Progressive Puberty Conversations Build Confident Daughters and Stronger Relationships,” scheduled to launch on July 31st 2025. The book introduces a revolutionary 30-day framework that transforms one of parenting’s most anxiety-producing responsibilities into an opportunity for meaningful connection.

Recent research shows that 67% of parents report feeling “completely unprepared” for puberty conversations, while 91% acknowledge their own puberty experiences create barriers to effective communication. Meanwhile, studies confirm that a girl’s relationship with her body typically forms between ages 8-12, potentially influencing her self-image and health decisions for decades to come.

“Stepping Stones” challenges the traditional “one perfect talk” approach to puberty education, offering instead the innovative SCALE Framework that guides parents through creating five progressive, confidence-building conversations tailored to their daughter’s unique personality and developmental stage.

“The pressure to have one perfect puberty talk creates paralysis for most parents,” says author Lily Wright. “This book breaks that cycle by offering a structured yet flexible approach that acknowledges both parental anxiety and the crucial need for timely, appropriate information. The progressive conversation approach transforms what feels like an overwhelming responsibility into a series of manageable, meaningful interactions that actually strengthen the parent-child relationship.”

The book features practical tools developed through research with over 1,200 families, including the Developmental Readiness Assessment, the Parental Comfort Inventory, and the Conversation Recovery System for addressing awkward moments. Unlike traditional resources focusing solely on what information to give daughters, “Stepping Stones” begins with parent preparation, addressing the primary barrier to effective puberty education. “Stepping Stones” will be available on July 31, 2025, in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats wherever books are sold.
