Raising Strong Girls – S6 Ep6 (Full Episode – Audio Only)

What does it really mean to raise confident, resilient girls in today’s world? In this episode of Voices of Compassion, CHC experts Marjan Ebadi, PhD, and Emily Hsu, PhD, explore the emotional and social challenges girls face as they grow up — including confidence, perfectionism, body image, and social pressures. From the moment a young girl says “I can’t do it,” to navigating the expectations of adolescence, we discuss how confidence develops — and sometimes dips — during childhood. Most importantly, we share practical ways parents and caregivers can help girls build resilience, embrace mistakes, and believe in their own abilities. In this episode, we discuss: • How confidence develops in girls during childhood and adolescence • The impact of perfectionism, body image, and social pressures • Why confidence can dip during key developmental stages • Practical ways parents can support resilience and self-belief If you’re raising or supporting a young girl, this conversation offers compassionate insight and practical guidance for helping girls grow into confident, capable adults. 📅 Aired November 5, 2025
