Girls are impressionable, especially when they're in their young adult years. Teaching them the value of self worth is one of the greatest gifts as parents and supporters we can give them. When you teach your girls that they are the most valuable asset they have, they treat themselves with respect and love. They will in turn share that with their friends and so on.

The Fear of Change and Power of Self Love

More teens than ever (especially girls) are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.  As a society our goal should not be to get rid of a child’s anxiety or the experiences that create fear; instead we should be teaching them how to tolerate ALL of their feelings and to be more resilient.   It is possible to understand how fear operates in the physical, emotional and spiritual realms and what actions can help strengthen our inner calm and help children to thrive.

They are striving for unattainable perfection and avoiding risks. LiveGirl has shown sheri how vulnerable today’s girls are as they face adolescent pressures magnified by social media and role overload. LiveGirl’s mission is to empower girls through year-round leadership development and mentorship. Their programs build social emotional intelligence and self-esteem which equip girls to have a positive impact on the world. Specifically, they focus on surrounding their girls with a positive community.

Mean Girls and Relational Aggression

There is a great quote, if you think you can or your can’t you are right. In parenting this goes even further. If you tell your daughter she can be anything and do anything if she puts her mind to it, my first question to you is are you LIVING this truth? The reality is and science shows us that it doesn’t matter what we SAY to girls is what we DO! So if we truly want girls to believe this we need to make darn sure we are modeling this behavior and this applies to all aspects of parenting.

Our Guest today is Pam Johnson. Pam has been singing since she was able to talk, which was somewhat frustrating for her mother when she would try to sing her to sleep and  she would instead sing along.  Pam started singing lessons when she was 16 and continued through college, gaining a Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal PerformanceAs a mother to a daughter as well, Pam thinks it is essential that girls’ voices are heard.  The doors that were just being opened to women when she went into the work world needs to be held open and walked through by the next generation of women.

Finding Calm in the Midst of Parenting Chaos

Karen Anderson

When mothers are willing to take a compassionate and honest look at their relationship with their own mothers, it creates awareness, around dysfunctional patterns that may have been passed down. Without that awareness, women will often parent “in resistance” to the way they themselves were mothered (“I will never treat my daughter the way my mother treated me,” or “I’m doing the opposite of what my mother did”), and this can have unintended consequences. Being willing to look within, understand, honor ourselves and our experiences is one of the most powerful things we can do. Modeling that process for our daughters is critical to raising them to be powerful girls.
