Research shows that girls' confidence often drops significantly during adolescence, right when they need it most. Starting reflective writing practices early helps girls maintain connection to their inner voice and build resilience against external pressures that might otherwise diminish their sense of self.

Regular writing helps girls develop a strong internal compass that guides them through social pressures and external expectations. When they know their own thoughts and values clearly, they become less susceptible to negative influences and more confident in their decisions.  Each entry is a small step in appreciating their own unique and wonderful self.
