History

MyDaughter.co.uk was launched in January 2009 following a survey of 1000 parents of daughters which asked 'How well do you know your daughter?' The survey found that sex and relationships were the most difficult subjects for parents to discuss with their daughters and that WAGs were the worst influence on girls[2]. It also highlighted a range of other topics that we a cause of anxiety to parents. The research revealed that parents wanted help and advice on how to deal with these issues[3]. This led the Girls' Schools Association to develop the MyDaughter brand as a source of online advice for parents. The Girls' Schools Association was approached by the Friday Project, an imprint of Harper Collins who will publish "Your Daughter", a book of the site in January 2011[4].
