Could your adolescent daughter be at risk of losing much of the hard-won self-confidence she developed in childhood? According to experts, probably so. In fact, most girls emerge from adolescence with poorer self-image and less self-confidence than boys – despite having similar levels of self-esteem as their male peers around age 10. Join Exceptional Parenting Podcast host, Stefanie Boucher, and Chief Program Officer at Girls Empowerment Network, Caroline Crawford, for a lively discussion about the factors that can damage girls’ well-being during adolescence and the things parents can do to now to empower their daughters and set them up for a lifetime of success.
