Raising Healthy, Powerful Girls

Whether your daughter is nearing puberty or in the throes of adolescence, how she looks at herself, her world, and her future is taking on new urgency and importance in her life. This can drive most parents crazy, or crazy with concern, as their daughters become more self-focused and more self-critical.

During this highly interactive talk we will explore the factors shaping girls’ attitudes about appearance, weight, and the drive to consume products instead of nutrients. Believe it or not, girls still look to their parents for guidance and assurance! The speakers will help you learn how to model attitudes and behaviors that will allow your daughter look confidently at herself, her world, and her future.
