Raising Godly Girls Amidst a Confused Culture

In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control released a survey that revealed that 57% of teen girls felt persistent sadness or hopelessness, while 30% had seriously considered suicide. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews Patti Garibay, the founder and executive director of American Heritage Girls. According to Patti, we must remind our teen daughters that they have self-worth and they should never lose sight of that. Why?

Raising Worry-Free Girls – Part 1

Sissy Goff, a counselor and author of Raising Worry-Free Girls, says anxiety always involves an overestimation of the problem, and an underestimation of self. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she warns parents not to rescue their daughter, which only serves to validate her anxiety. In essence, a parent might say, “You’re right, sweetheart, your concern is too big and you’re too small. You can't do it.” Instead, it’s critical to tell her, “You are capable. And I believe in you!” That will build her confidence, empowering her to become more resilient and independent.
