Synopsis
You can build your girl’s self-confidence and set her on a path to believing in her ability to be or do anything she wants to in the world...and it’s not as hard as you think.
Author Danielle Fuligni McKay draws on her vast experience leading groups that teach girls self confidence and her own personal story as a positive parent to offer parents, mentors, teachers and coaches of adolescent and teenage girls powerful methods for raising confident girls with the ability to manage emotions.

In this book you’ll learn: The breakthrough that empowered McKay to choose self-confidence · How to create a confidence framework for your girl · The importance of mindset (yours and hers) · Her technique to successfully manage negative self-talk · How she started owning her emotions and taught her girls to do the same · Why your daughter’s circle of friends matters.

Teaching girls how to build self-confidence is one of the best things we can do to create a stronger social fabric around the world. I applaud Danielle's book for its candidness and specific, simple suggestions that any adult can use to empower girls they care about.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking ways to live a more purpose-filled life alongside their girl. Many of the highlights provide tools that are simple, effective and will lead you and your girl on a journey of self-discovery. I highly recommend it!

There are three characteristics that significantly reduce risk-taking behavior in adolescent females: positive self-esteem, strong self-confidence and healthy communication with care-takers. Danielle Fuligni McKay provides these tools in an easily approachable, down-to-earth way to facilitate the development of emotional and behavioral wellness in girls. In my opinion, Girl on Purpose should be required reading!
