Today, most young girls get too hooked onto their TV shows and other home-bound activities. Help your girl test her abilities by venturing outside. Exploring newer boundaries will encourage her to try several fun activities like climbing trees, cartwheels, fishing, skateboarding, swimming, and so much more.

Card 5 with green sticky card

Girls are constantly burdened by the need to be perfectionists. Very early on, they begin to be pressured to feel, behave, and think perfectly, mostly because of what they see and perceive from you, other adults, their friends, and pop culture. However, the best way to raise a confident girl is by letting her falter from time to time. Remind her that her imperfections do not make her any less of a unique child.

Speak to her about your own mishaps that have helped shape yourself into the person you are today. Let her know that there is beauty in imperfections too. (Perhaps only in them?)

Remind her that her imperfections do not make her any less of a unique child.

Girls tend to shy away from even trying if they feel like they won't improve in a particular thing. Encourage her with a growth mindset, early on. This will go a long way in helping her build skills and abilities throughout her life.

Explain to her how the best things come with practice and there is no two way about this. This is key in building confidence and pushing her to lay out greater aspirations for herself. Praise her effort and qualities like intelligence, determination, and strategies. Validate her hard work and encourage her to bounce back each time she fails.

Card 9 with green sticky card

Do not make a big deal of your daughter's appearance or fashion style. While you can't help contain how she is growing into a beautiful young lady, you do not want her to tie down her self-worth to the way she looks and dresses. Instead, praise her for her kindness towards every being around her, determination, effort, and other such positive virtues.

Daily positive affirmations will truly help her understand that self-worth comes from within.

Growing into a young woman and managing [puberty](/tips-and-advice-for-girls-and-parents/puberty/puberty-stages-every-girl-should-know-about) is not easy. While you provide her with all the essentials in the form of [sanitary pads](/sanitary-pads), [tampons](https://always-africa.com/en-za/tampons) and [panty liners](/panty-liners), the physical and mental development can take a toll.

Lastly, let her know that she will rise above it all while shooting for the stars.
