Hello daughters! Eliza here. This is a page of links, videos, resources and ideas, that I have put together for you. Everything on this page has helped me, inspired me and guided me through my teenage years. Click the video to your right and I will fill you in…
• I Am an Emotional Creature by Eve Ensler: this is a book of monologues (written in the style of poems, stories or reflections) for teenage girls about teenage girls. It is a celebration of the authentic voice inside every girl and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere to speak up and follow their dreams.
• Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce: Tamora Pierce was my favorite author during my teen years, and if you love fantasy books (Harry Potter anyone?), or sassy, independent heroines you'll love her work too. Trickster's Queen is the story of a teenage girl working as a spy in a country far away from home, and on the way discovering what she is truly passionate about in life. Plenty of romance, royal family drama, deep ideas and characters to fall in love with.1. Stay real (authentic, genuine, not fake, no b.s.).
2. Don't give up (Giving up is when you say, "She'll never
get me, she'll never trust me, she'll always embarrass me.")
3. Build the relationship you want (where she actually
listens when you're talking and you actually want to listen back.)
