Young women, like anyone else, are sure to grow and evolve at their own individual pace. While we cannot speed up or slow down this process as we would like to, we, as parents, guardians, and teachers, play an instrumental role in shaping the lives of these soon-to-be adults.

By encouraging adolescent girls to develop their independence, take care of themselves both physically and mentally, and navigate social decisions with a sound and logical frame of mind, we give our teenagers the best possible chance of success as they transition into womanhood.

Ideally, even into adulthood, the young women in our lives continue to look to us (their mentors) for guidance and advice as they move through their personal journey.
