82 - Does Your Daughter's Confidence Window Really Close at 12? (What the Research Actually Says)

I saw a popular post on Instagram this week claiming a girl’s confidence window closes at age 12, and a lot of parents were scared.  If that’s true… what does it mean if your daughter is already 12, 14, or 16? In this episode, we talk about what research actually says about girls’ confidence, why it often dips in the tween years, and why it’s not too late to help your daughter build her confidence. (Plus my favorite simple tips that make a big difference in her self-esteem!)
