Introducing the Girl Power Toolkit!
|
7 Posters with the 70 traits of a Confident Wonderlicious Girl! + 140 Stickers = A daily reminder of what you should be nurturing and inspiring in your girl & An opportunity to celebrate her efforts and achievements and reinforce her power traits & Some serious GIRL POWER! |
Would you like to have a daily reminder of the traits and attributes you should be nurturing in your daughter? Would you like to have an age appropriate way to reward her Girl Power efforts?
I have created seven posters, each one with ten different Traits of a confident girl! Seven posters you can hang on the walls of her bedroom or stick to the door of your fridge.
The seventy traits include simple affirmations that even the tiny little ones can easily embody. Afirmations such as: "I am a leader", "I am physically active", "I speak up". More complex concepts are included for the older children such as: "I am not afraid to make mistakes because I learn from them", "I apply critical thinking to media and marketing" and "I know that beauty comes in different sizes, shapes, colors and abilities".The posters come together with lots of reward stars that can be used to celebrate her girl power traits. As always, I suggest you reinforce the behaviors you are trying to support by using specific examples in a matter of fact way and without exaggeration. Our goal is to celebrate her effort in developing these traits.

I must admit that when I started this tribe, I was a little naïve. I truly believed that inspiration, motivation and great role models would be the only tools we were going to need to support our girls. I wanted young girls to experience the sparkly world of possibilities. To learn and develop without ever needing to understand or care about the unfair representation of girls in the media or the tricks played by corporate marketing to get them to be a lifetime consumer of their products... But as I visited toy stores, reviewed children's media and read the never-ending list of very depressing studies about eating disorders, problems with body image and self-esteem and sexualisation and objectification of children... I changed my mind.I realised that it was very important to also provide media literacy and promote critical thinking at an early age. |
I decided to create a little tool to help parents and educators explain in simple terms what is right and what is wrong to a preschool aged girl. I am not suggesting in any way that you call attention to nasty things that she does not see: let's keep toxic media as far away from our girls as possible for as long as we can. Do surround her with a supportive and inspirational environment full of positive influences, but... when she does comes across bad influences and stereotypes and unfortunately she eventually will, I have created a very simple tool that allows you and her to simply say: No! No! No!
It is a visual symbol of the Girl Rebellion, a gesture that will allow her to think critically about what she is experiencing and determine if it is not right!

Because as a girl she can proudly say:
- I can do and be anything I wish, my imagination and potential are limitless, all the colors of the rainbow and toys are available to me.
- I am a little girl, I have all the time in the world, I don't need to grow up fast.
- I want see real girls of many shapes and sizes, just like my friends and me, represented in toys, books, magazines, movies and on TV.
- Skin and hair come in many beautiful colors; I want to see girls and boys that represent all the wonderful diversity in the world.
- Yes! I am gorgeous inside and out but I am more than just a pretty doll to be looked at, I like to jump, to explore, to have fun, to get dirty, to learn and so much more.
- It is not right to promote violence against girls or any other creature in the world.
- Where are the girls? I want to see girls and women in books, in the movies, in sports media and much more.
