Girls can rule the world. All you need is confidence.  

Ever wish you had the guts to try out for that team or play, or finally talk to that grumpy, intimidating teacher, or actually start that animal welfare club you dreamed up? Or maybe your list of scary stuff is totally different. But here’s the secret to making it all happen: 

Confidence. It gives you the power to do everything you want. 

Packed with graphic novel strips, fun lists and quizzes, and stories from real girls, this book will reveal the code for confidence—how to make it and how to use it. Soon you’ll be a girl of action, tackling risks that lead to big, big adventure and taking on challenges you've never even imagined. (From the Back Cover).

As your student reads true stories from tons of real girls, The Confidence Code for Girls will teach your learner to embrace risk, deal with failure, and be their most authentic selves.

It’s a paradox familiar to parents everywhere: girls are achieving like never before, yet they’re consumed with doubt on the inside. Girls worry constantly about how they look, what people think, whether to try out for a sports team or school play, why they aren’t getting “perfect” grades, and how many likes and followers they have online.

Katty Kay and Claire Shipman use cutting-edge science and research, as well as proven methods of behavioral change, to reach girls just when they need it the most—the tween and teen years.

Come join friends as we dive into The Confidence Code.   Each week students will read part of one Chapter at home and then as a group we will discuss what we read and together we will complete the questions and projects in the book. Students will be required to buy the book which can be found on Amazon or purchase the audible book (or both).  Students will also need a journal to write their answers in and complete reflections.  At home readings should take no more than 20 minutes a week. We will also have Kahoot Quizzes that the students can use to help review our class discussions.  

Please note:  This is a book for girls, however, this class is inclusive.  Anyone is welcome to join if they believe they will benefit from the book and topics.
