When girls find their voices being ignored or discounted, they need to know how to stand up for themselves and ensure that their contributions are being heard. In this blog post, we introduce three phrases, a total of ten words, that writer Soraya Chemaly says that every girl should practice saying. This will help girls speak them in real life -- and teach both boys and girls that it’s not socially acceptable to interrupt or ignore a female voice. To read her advice, visit https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=20656

For a fantastic confidence-boosting picture book encouraging girls to speak up, we highly recommend "Raise Your Hand" for ages 5 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/raise-your-hand

For an uplifting picture book about an irrepressible Mighty Girl who won't let the criticism of others hold her back, we also recommend "Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon" for ages 4 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/stand-tall-molly-lou-melon

For two excellent books for tween and teen girls on how to make their voices heard, check out "A Smart Girl’s Guide to Knowing What to Say" for ages 9 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/a-smart-girl-s-guide-to-knowing-what-to-say) and "The Resilience Workbook for Teens" for ages 13 and up (https://www.amightygirl.com/the-resilience-workbook-for-teens)

For more confidence-building books to help Mighty Girls of all ages learn how to assert herself, visit our "Self-Confidence" book section at http://amgrl.co/2qxXQhH

Soraya Chemaly is also the author of the insightful book for adults "Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger" at https://www.amightygirl.com/rage-becomes-her

The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep ; you become a lion.
A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.

You Are Loved - Emily Roussell

This went right to my heart. 💜

You are really individual beings, with very special talents, and it would be nice if teachers had the time, or parents had the awareness or skill, to see the children as the very individual, very special beings that they are. So that rather than trying to drum them into one category, they are, instead, appreciating the special insight that each child brings to the sea of diversity and contrast which is the stuff that creation comes from.
~Abraham-Hicks

A Mighty Girl Pick of the Day: "Fossil Hunter: How Mary Anning Changed the Science of Prehistoric Life" by Cheryl Blackford. Mary Anning's family was desperately poor, so the nimble and curious girl learned to help her father search the cliffs near her home on the south coast of England for fossils to sell. She made her first major discovery at only 12 years old and grew to become one of the most celebrated paleontologists in history. This highly visual new biography introduces kids to Mary Anning's incredible life story and explores her tremendous impact on scientific thinking around extinction and prehistoric life. Filled with engaging, kid-friendly text and abundant photographs and paleoart -- including reproductions of some of Anning's sketches -- this gorgeous and well-researched book brings Mary Anning to life for young readers! Highly recommended for ages 8 and up.

"Fossil Hunter" is available at https://www.amightygirl.com/fossil-hunter

To introduce younger children to Mary Anning's incredible story, we highly recommend "Mary Anning" for ages 5 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/mary-anning-little-people) and "The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning" for ages 5 to 9 (https://www.amightygirl.com/dinosaur-lady)

For adult readers interested in Mary Anning's story, we recommend the excellent biography "The Fossil Hunter" (https://www.amightygirl.com/the-fossil-hunter) and the historical fiction novel "Remarkable Creatures" (https://www.amightygirl.com/remarkable-creatures)

For a fantastic doll for fossil-loving kids, we highly recommend the "Fossil Hunter Lottie Doll," which comes complete with a backpack of fossil hunting tools, for ages 3 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/fossil-hunter-lottie-doll
