In a constantly changing world that can be challenging, empowering young girls to feel strong and accomplished is more crucial than ever. As a parent, grandparent, and someone who cares about the future of our young generation, it’s essential to instill values that nurture leadership qualities from a young age.
I recently found an interesting article, “Six Things I Want My Daughters to Know” on iBelieve.com. The author shares valuable lessons that every parent wishes their daughters will carry with them throughout life. As I read through the list, I couldn’t help but think about my daughter and granddaughter and how these principles align with empowering young girls to become leaders.
In the past, many children’s stories portrayed the princess or girl in the tale as needing rescuing from the brave, strong prince. This article resonated with me because it emphasized the importance of instilling the belief that girls are brave and strong. This notion immediately brought to mind the children’s book I recently published, Ellie the Brave, Bald Fairy. It’s a story about a fairy who finds courage under difficult circumstances. She had to believe in her bravery and strength to overcome challenges and fears.
After feeling inspired by the strength of my granddaughter, Ellie, who battled a stage 3 Wilms tumor at such a young age, I wrote this book. From suddenly having to have emergency surgery to remove the cancer along with her kidney to experiencing chemo and radiation along with the side effects, she had a lot to handle. To witness how she found her courage and was so brave and strong as she navigated her cancer journey was truly amazing.
The parallels between the iBelieve.com article and Ellie’s journey illustrate the importance of fostering self-belief in young girls. It is important to instill in them the confidence to rely on the courage and strength they can grow within themselves. This confidence will help them grow into true leaders.
Whatever the battle, young girls should feel strong and brave enough to conquer any issue in front of them. These traits need to be taught, nurtured, and modeled.
The article also delves into the practical ways to nurture leadership in young girls. It emphasizes the importance of encouraging them to express their ideas, fostering a sense of self-worth, and providing positive role models. Ellie’s story shows how a supportive environment and affirmations of bravery can fuel a young girl’s sense of leadership and help them find the strength they need to tackle whatever challenges they face.
In the article “Leadership in Young Girls” on GirlsThatCreate.com, the emphasis is placed on nurturing leadership qualities from a young age. It explores the idea that leadership is not just about authority but empowering girls to overcome obstacles. Ellie’s courage in the face of illness becomes a beautiful example of the leadership potential that lies within every young girl.
The website GirlsThatCreate.com is a treasure trove of information, providing insights and guidance on instilling leadership qualities in young girls. It offers a wealth of articles, stories, and resources that can be instrumental in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
As we strive to create a world where every young girl can blossom into a confident and empowered leader, we must instill values that reinforce their belief in themselves. The iBelieve.com article serves as a valuable guide, and the enchanting fairy tale of Ellie adds a touch of magic to this journey of empowerment. Let’s work together to cultivate a generation of strong, resilient, and empowered young women leaders.
