The newly updated edition of Girls Without Limits offers relevant insights and concrete strategies that will help you: • Understand the unique challenges girls face, including relationship troubles, social and academic pressures, disrespect and harassment, body image, academic and career choices, and becoming leaders • Teach girls the skills they need to safely and confidently navigate social media and other evolving technologies • Empower girls with the skills they need to establish healthy and supportive relationships, build a strong sense of self, and develop the confidence they need to confront negative societal expectations and make healthy, positive decisions Be the caring and positive force that girls need

Readers will gain tangible ways of actually relating to girls and teaching them the skills needed to live in a world that is saturated with technology. Girls Without Limits is a must-read for anyone who works with, educates, or parents girls!” |
