Prepare Your Daughter For Boarding 

By Victoria Davies Jones
Published by John Catt Educational 2013

A guide to preparing your child before she has even left home, based on suggestions and anecdotes collected from girls, parents and staff. Topics include practical skills, communication, dealing with bullying and homesickness.

“As the mother of a soon-to-be boarder, I found there were no books offering advice on how to prepare children who are still at home. I discovered other parents felt the same and so as a journalist I thought I’d better write the book myself.”
