Teaching Children to be Courageous

As we continue our series on teaching our children to be courageous, we recognize the importance of empowering the next generation. International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, acknowledges the accomplishments of women across the globe while promoting gender equality. It serves as a powerful reminder of the need to uplift and empower young girls, helping them grow into confident, strong, and independent individuals. Parents play a vital role in this by nurturing self-esteem, fostering ambition, and challenging societal stereotypes.

The following article features a conversation with Dr. Marisa Porges, author of What Girls Need: How to Raise Bold, Courageous, and Resilient Women, where she shares valuable parenting insights.

God bless,
