Breast buds can make her breasts feel a little tender and she might complain about her breasts hurting.

Training bras are a great place to start.

There are 10 secrets that you need to know if you want your tween girl to show more gratitude in life! These 10 secrets that Lisa Toney brings you from GirlTribe Nation on The Raising Amazing Tween Girls show and podcast will bring some fresh ideas into your mom world to help you!It is the season of Thanksgiving. We are quickly approaching Thanksgiving, a whole day set aside for being thankful. I love this time of year, but I also really, really love the idea of living a life, not just a day, filled with gratitude.Gratitude takes practice. It is something that you need to commit to for the long haul. Gratitude is definitely a marathon mindset, not a sprint. It is something we focus on this month, but if we focus on it all year long, there is much to be gained. There are some big wins when we are able to cultivate an attitude of gratitude that is cemented into our being. It makes for kinder tweens, more patient parents, and homes that are filled with more joy.When we show gratitude to someone for something, it connects us to them. We form a bond. Our hearts are grateful and our endorphins are released because they brought us happiness. When we are socially connected to others, we feel supported, we feel known, and we feel cared for. That is the stuff of happiness friends. Oh I know your tween things that a new phone will bring her happiness - but the phone is not really what makes her happy. It is the connectedness with people that she thinks the phone will bring. Studies show that kids that connect without others without a phone are actually happier than kids who connect with people with their phones. https://time.com/5437607/smartphones-teens-mental-health/ Wow, can you believe it? We did it! We covered 10 Secrets to build an attitude of gratitude in your tween! Now don’t worry if you are like, wait, what were those again? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. I’ve created your very own cheatsheet of our top 10 Ten Secrets For Building An Attitude of Gratitude In Your Tween. You have easy access to it by going to GirlTribeNation.com/gratitude.

Are you having clothing wars? Are you noticing that her body is changing as she hits puberty? Your little girl is starting to get curves. If you notice it, then other people will too. Modesty is not just about what we wear. Modesty is also about teaching our girls that their value comes from the inside out. Once we know our worth is on the inside, then it makes a lot more sense to cover up more of our body parts to help others notice our personhood first, not our body parts.In this episode, join Lisa as she gives all the mamas in the house the reasons WHY modesty is important as well as some practice conversations that you can have with your girl. The Girl Scouts of America notes that 1 in 10 girls is catcalled before her 11th birthday. Surveys conducted by Cornell University’s ILR School and the nonprofit organization Hollaback! reveal nearly 85 percent of American female respondents report facing street harassment before age 17; nearly 70 percent before age 14. Almost 80 percent of women report they were followed by harassers at some point. Catcalls on the street or anywhere are maybe one of the first experiences that girls have of being objectified. It can feel shameful and frightening and you're not even sure why. Girls don’t invite this behavior from men yet they are routinely looked at as being responsible to prevent it. Maddening, right? Wondering what to say, I know I always did! I’ve put together a list of some phrases that might be helpful to you and your daughter. You can download it for free at GirlTribeNation.com/catcalls.Let's help our girls learn why modesty is important and then show them how. Here's to raising Amazing Tween Girls to be smart, healthy, brave, and live with a whole lot more happy in their lives. GirlTribe Nation is here for you moms! We are cheering you on!

Did you know that the Raising Amazing Girls show is both a podcast and a YouTube show? Why yes it is, so you can listen or watch, whichever you prefer. We are trying to get up to 100 subscribers so that we can name our channel.I’m Lisa Toney with GirlTribe Nation and I am so very glad you are joining me today. Girltribe Nation is committed to raising a generation of tween girls to be smart, healthy, brave, and live with a whole lot more happy in their lives. Girltribe Nation is a movement of Mamas who are raising tween girls who are looking to raise young women who are full of character, responsibility, self-control, and a firm identity. Our culture is warring for the heart and mind of your daughter and we moms need to be on guard and help our girls. As tweens they are looking for guidance and role models for who they want to be like as they grow up into being young women. We have an amazing opportunity, responsibility, and privilege to help them during these years. Picking your Fierce Five is a process that is something that you can do together, and that is why it is so pivotal to do in the tween years, because you still have your daughter’s ear. What you say and do is still really important and meaningful to her!So what exactly is the Fierce Five? Let’s get into it.Your Fierce Five is the circle of adult female mentors that you are going to intentionally surround your daughter with and help her to engage with. This circle of her Fierce Five are those women that you know and trust to give her wise counsel and share your values. These women are going to give her an amazing opportunity to feel invested in, loved on, and like she has some adult friends. Five women, instead of one that can pour into your girl. This is why this is so helpful to you and your daughter. If you plan for her fierce five to take her out twice a year that is ten dates. If you plan for one a month, that is ten months of the year. Maybe you want to take December off and maybe you want to take one summer month of where you are on vacation. That leaves you the bulk of the year where your daughter gets to go out with five different women and spend an hour chatting about life. This is a much easier ask of your friends as well.I am putting up the exact email example that I used for inviting my Fierce Five at GirlTribeNation.com/FierceFive that you can access for free. I'd love for you to access it so that you have a great jump start on inviting your Fierce Five for your daughter.We here at Girltribe Nation are all about resourcing the moms of tween girls to grow a generation of young ladies to be smart, healthy, brave, and live with a whole lot more happy in their lives.

Does your girl know how to forgive someone and lay the hurt down? So many tweens carry this with them and that increases their stress levels and slowly makes them more bitter and cynical in relationships. It doesn't have to be that way!Join Lisa Toney with GirlTribe Nation as she teaches tween moms how to walk their daughters through conflict resolution. In part two of this 3-part series, we discuss the art of forgiveness.Today we are talking about how to forgive someone. This is super hard when we get hurt. Sometimes really deeply. It is hard to navigate those feelings and emotions and part of forgiveness is giving trust back to someone who broke trust with us. So doggone hard.Forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to let go of your feelings of anger or getting revenge toward someone who has hurt you whether they deserve it or not - you decide to release it and not keep thinking about it or dwelling on it or getting revenge. Forgiveness is the art of dropping it rather than carrying it with you everywhere you go.Forgiveness is about goodness, about extending mercy to those who’ve harmed us, even if they don’t “deserve” it.How do we forgive?Forgive the small things first.Forgive the big things next.When words are hard, write a letter, bury something, or drop something to let go.Choose to bless rather than curse.Reconcile the relationship when possibleI’ve created a really great Mother/Daughter date for you to have to help walk your girls through times of conflict in their lives.
