Before I was a life coach in private practice, I had the chance to work with teen girls as a school counselor. I was privileged to have them share with me their struggles with bullying, feelings of low self-esteem, and the daily challenges most parents are either unaware of or feel powerless to do anything about.
I’ve seen teen girls be plain mean to one another, but what I found the hardest to witness were the messages they received from adults, whether it was the teachers or the parents, who drummed up how “all kids get bullied,” or “kids are mean”. These are damaging messages, so how can a parent raise a compassionate kid so they don’t bully others?
