Raising
Confident Girls is something that I am very passionate about and together with
over 4000 members on facebook, we share ideas and suggestions on how to raise
confident girls. One of my sister friend’s asked me to do a segment for her
daughter’s 10th birthday on Raising Confident Girls and I accepted without hesitation.
Power Words
The
fun started with pass the confident ball (instead of pass the parcel). When the music stopped, one girl at a time, pulled
a note from the hat and described the confident word. Power words help build
confidence. These are just a few power words that you should be using daily in
your vocabulary; ‘amazing’, beautiful, delightful, majestic, fabulous,
unique, spectacular, extraordinary, wow…'
Confident
Spelling Bee Contest
Another way to boost
confidence is to practice what you are good at. The more you practice the better
you become. I decided to include a confident spelling bee quiz which the girls
were very good at. I divided the girls into teams and they picked a word from
the hat, spelt it and described the meaning.
Words of Affirmation Builds Confidence
Words of Affirmation are one of the 5 love languages and are excellent for building confidence. I asked the girls to describe
the birthday girl and say something that they like about her. They mentioned
fun, caring, intelligent, bold, friendly, daring, which to me means her parents
are doing a great job in raising a confident girl.
Inner
Confidence
During the birthday
party, I shared some nuggets on inner confidence and the ability to believe and
accept oneself. Inner confidence does not grow from corporate success,
accolades, or our ability to speak in public. It’s not nurtured by who “sees”
us, or the image we have built up around ourselves. It can only come from accepting yourself completely.
I also spoke to the
girls about self love, self knowledge, positive talk and setting clear goals,
as these help build self confidence.
The Runway
My session ended on a high with the girls running the catwalk. In role play fashion, the girls just flew in from Italy, LA, Monaco, Cape Town and Paris and came especially for the 10th birthday ( story telling -wink) and oh we mothers got to have fun too because moms just wanna have fun yeah.

The
feedback from the family “You did a fantastic job and the girls loved it. It is
such a great way to pass on a very important message”.
