Girls have it rough sometimes. As our daughters get older, we start thinking about all the tween and teen drama that awaits them. Which is why we put together these words of encouragement for my daughter.
Words are really powerful. Saying the right thing at the right time can matter a lot.
And there’s so much pressure on girls today! Magazines, television, and social media are all pumping out impossible standards that can make girls doubt themselves or feel like they’re not “enough”.
Plus, as our girls get older, they start to get the message that the rules are different for them. That some people will hold them to a list of expectations based on their gender.
Girls need to know that their talents, skills, and abilities have nothing to do with gender. And that they shouldn’t be afraid to dream big, live loud, or just be themselves.
How do you raise powerful girls who feel secure in themselves and their beliefs? It starts by using words of encouragement for my daughter when they’re young, and continuing to offer support and encouragement throughout adolescence.

Raise Powerful Girls
By using these and other words of encouragement for my daughter you’ll be helping to raise powerful girls.
Girls that learn to take action, make positive choices about their lives and do positive things for others. Powerful girls feel good about themselves and grow up with a “can-do’ attitude.
Obviously strong girls (like anyone) will have times of insecurity and self-doubt, but these feelings aren’t paralyzing because they’ve learned to work through problems.
Every parent wants their kids to grow up to be successful happy individuals.
That’s why sharing your knowledge and experience with your daughters (and sons) is so important.
A word of wisdom, encouragement and inspiration, inspiring words, or advice from you today, can be the thing that gets your child through tough times tomorrow. Check out our — List of encouraging words for students
