Raising Girls: Identity, Confidence and Media in Their Lives

How girls are shaping their identity, confidence, relationships and sense of self in a media-saturated world, and how parents can support them in developing confidence, discernment and resilience.

Raising girls today can feel overwhelming. Between social media, comparison culture, beauty pressures, online influence, and rising concerns around anxiety and self-worth, many parents are asking the same question: How do we help girls grow up confident, grounded, and emotionally healthy in today’s world?

Join us for an honest and empowering conversation designed for parents raising girls through childhood, adolescence, and the digital age. Together, we’ll explore the realities girls are navigating today, from body image, bullying, and social media pressures to online safety, relationships, and the messages shaping how girls see themselves and others.

This session will help parents better understand what girls are experiencing, what warning signs to pay attention to, and how to create open, supportive conversations at home.

You’ll leave with:

• Practical strategies to build confidence, resilience, and critical thinking
• Tools to navigate social media, comparison culture, and harmful messaging
• Guidance on responding to concerns around anxiety, body image, and emotional wellbeing
• Ways to strengthen communication, trust, and connection with your child
• Insights to help girls recognize what is healthy, unrealistic, manipulative, or unsafe online

This is not about parenting from fear. It’s about helping parents feel informed, prepared, and empowered to raise girls who know their worth, trust themselves, and thrive.
