Are you concerned that the daughter in your life is spending too
much time living in the world of social media? Do you wish you
could stop the madness that social media brings into your home? You
are not alone. Girls are in the midst of a crisis of confidence and
communication. They are learning valuable life lessons from mentors
like the Kardashians and Instagram "stars"whose heavily edited
photos and videos leave them feeling badly about themselves and
second guessing their own lives. Physical and psychological changes
in her adolescent brain mixed with the impact of the media, most
importantly social media, has girls feeling lackluster about
themselves and uncomfortable communicating in real life. An average
12-15 year old sends over 40 texts a day, 1 in 2 teens believe they
are "addicted" to their mobile device, 78% of teens check their
mobile device hourly, and 77% of parents say they are concerned
that their children are distracted and don't pay attention when
spending time together (Common Sense Media Report, 2016). With
these statistics, parents feel powerless and paralyzed by fear that
their daughters will be lacking in self esteem and the necessary
communication skills to survive in the real world. The worst part
is that parents are letting their fears surrounding social media
get in the way of parenting their daughters the way they
intuitively know they should. Well, not anymore. In Girls Just Want
to Have Likes Laurie takes families back to the basics by using
real life examples and powerful communication and leadership skill
lessons to help parents build a family connection and confident
capable young women. Girls Just Want to Have Likes will help
parents reclaim the power in their homes away from social media,
the uninvited guest, and go back to the basics of creating a stable
and loving home, accepting and encouraging their daughters and
gently nudging them to take risks and experience real
accomplishments. Parents can step (back) into their roles as mentor
and guide and stand side by side with their daughters helping them
unwind and decode the different messages that social media is
sending them. As this begins to take shape in the home, social
Media will start to blend into the background. Allowing the things
that matter most to stand front and center - your daughter!
