RAISING BODY CONFIDENT GIRLS THROUGH PUBERTY: A parent workshop with educator, researcher, and author DR. FIONA GHIGLIONE
Join us for an in-person workshop in Valencia, Spain, with the insightful Dr. Fiona Ghiglione, a specialist in preteen development and parenting girls. Fiona will help us navigate the challenging questions that so many parents face around puberty and body confidence in young girls.
If you have been noticing your daughter’s confidence dropping and want to help her feel good in her body during puberty, this workshop is for you. Join other mums and dads who want to do the preteens differently and prepare their girls for this important stage in their development and answer tricky questions like:
How do I help my daughter embrace her changing body?
What if my daughter is already comparing herself to her friends or social media influencers? What do I say?
How do I help her feel comfortable in her changing body when I’m struggling with my own body image?
How do I start conversations around puberty?
What should I do if my daughter is overly concerned with weight or dieting? How do I respond when she says she feels “fat” or “ugly”?
How can I help her embrace her body, even when it doesn’t match the "ideal" she sees around her
