 Portrait of a girl flinging her hair back in the sunshine

Raising girls to be happy, healthy, and successful is simpler than ever with help from Girl Scouts. We're proud to stand with parents and caregivers as they raise up the next generation of girls and young women. From knowing how much to help with her homework to navigating sensitive issues in the news with your family, we've got everything you need to raise girls with confidence.

Build Her Digital Confidence

From creating strong passwords to spreading kindness online, guiding your girl in today’s digital world can feel like a big task. But with the right tools and habits, she can be confident, safe, and a positive force online. Complete the Be Internet Awesome Family Challenge with your girl and explore these tips, brought to you by Google, which will help you equip her to navigate the online world with confidence.

Raise a Happy Girl

Knowing how to help your girl feel comfortable in her own skin, express her emotions, and have healthy relationships with friends and others can be tricky. Here's how to keep her confidence high and the drama low!

Help Her Take the Lead

From raising her hand in class to starting a petition, she’s got something to say. Check out the latest tips and advice on how to raise her to be the kind of leader your family, her school, and your whole community can look up to.

Help Her Succeed in School

Your daughter is curious, determined, and capable of so much. Here's how to help her feel confident in the classroom and fit homework into her already busy schedule, plus tips on how to talk about her grades.

Stand Up Against Bullying

From helping you recognize the different types of bullying to figuring out if she's facing bullying at school, we'll help you steer your daughter through these choppy social waters and spot any signs of danger.

From the time she came into your life, you've only wanted the best for your daughter. You want to see her feel happy and loved, be confident, make new friends, stay healthy, excel in school, and eventually rise up the ranks in a career she finds fulfilling. But you also want your girl to be independent, grow into her own person with her own unique strengths and beliefs, and learn to use her voice. And all of that? Well, it can be overwhelming at times, to say the least.

That's why we're happy to share straightforward, realistic, and proven parenting advice on anything and everything you might deal with when raising girls. From when to get a family pet and how to help her make new friends to more serious issues like bullying, discussions about current events, and school struggles, we've got you covered. Hand in hand, we can take the guesswork out of parenting and bring the fun back in.
