Growing Strong Girls
Practical Tools to Cultivate Connection in the Preteen Years
Girls today face incredible pressure to grow up fast. They yearn to connect, but sometimes this yearning can turn into negative, even destructive, behavioral patterns such as gossiping, being passive-aggressive or mean, becoming screen-addicted, or disengaging from school. It’s heartbreaking to watch even the most confident young girls disconnect and lose their sparkle as they hit the preteen years. In Growing Strong Girls, Lindsay Sealey reveals the key to activating self-awareness, inner strength, and confidence in a preteen girl—a nurturing and secure connection between her and her caregivers.
