The obsession with tween skin care, pushed by big brands and influencers, isn’t just about fun self-care. It can feed insecurity, perfectionism and comparison – pressures that quietly chip away at confidence. So how do you keep your girl fearless without squashing curiosity or saying a flat no to the latest serum?

Confidence is a muscle that gets its enduring power from small, consistent experiences. That’s why, off the back of co-founder Elle Wilks’ recent recording for the Child Psych Podcast  (to be released early 2026), micro-moments were a hot topic in her advice to parents: simple, repeatable experiences that help girls feel capable, seen and supported and enable girls to build and maintain the mastery of a confident mindset. Research shows girls’ confidence drops sharply around

Buying Christmas gifts for tween girls can feel utterly impossible (we know, we have the same problem in our families every year!). Too often it’s cheap plastic, trends she’ll forget in a week or something that looks fun but doesn’t do  anything and gets discarded after five minutes. It feels like throwing money in the bin for the sake of buying something .  The Fearless Girls Club subscription box changes that. Here’s why it’s a gift for girls this Christmas that actually ma

Co-Authored with Dr Emma Hill, Educational Psychologist at ELLES Psychology There’s a concept that teachers swear by but most parents haven’t heard of, and it might just change the way you support your kids. It’s called scaffolding. Think of it as temporary support that you build around your child; strong enough to help her reach new heights, but designed to come down as she grows steady on her own. This idea sits right in the middle of one of the trickiest parts of parenting

I think we’d all agree that friendships in the tween years can be both magical and messy. Misunderstandings, disagreements and being deliberately left out are all common but heartbreaking to witness as a parent – and it’s tricky for us to know when to step in or let girls work things out themselves. It’s why we include ‘Friendships’ as a specific Club Quest  topic, so we’re laying the groundwork for healthy friendships in our clubs  and through our monthly subscription boxes

After we’ve enthusiastically belted out our club affirmations (I am brave! I am bold! I am fearless!), we begin every Fearless Girls Club session with a simple ritual: One Good Thing. Each girl takes a turn to share something positive from her week, whether it’s finishing a tricky piece of homework, trying a new activity or doing something fun with friends. It might look like a quick icebreaker, but there’s a lot happening beneath the surface. This small act of sharing suppor

When it comes to raising confident girls, there’s no shortage of advice out there. But much of it is based on ideas that don’t quite hold up in real life. At Fearless Girls Club, we spend a lot of time listening to girls and working with them – and we’ve found that the path to confidence isn’t always what the books or quick-fix tips suggest. Myth 1: Being confident means being loud and annoying Confidence often gets confused with extroversion or even arrogance, especially in

One of the things we care about most at Fearless Girls Club is making sure girls feel seen, heard and genuinely involved in shaping their own experience. This approach is baked in to both our after-school club model and our brand new monthly subscription boxes . Rather than designing everything behind closed doors, we co-create each box with the girls in the club. Their feedback isn’t just welcomed, it’s built into the process. After every box, we ask what they liked, what th

Plus: A Free Confidence-Boosting Printable! As parents, we want to see our kids believe in themselves, have the courage to pursue what truly makes them happy and, fundamentally, like who they are. But confidence and self-esteem aren’t things we’re born with, nor are they things you can ever fully ‘achieve’ – ‘Great, I feel pretty good about myself and brave enough to go fourth into the world and conquer so I’ll just tick off ‘be confident’ from my to-do list’. They’re skills

We want to talk about self-worth. Not the fuzzy transient kind that comes from getting full marks or being cast as the lead in the school play (though those are obviously great!). We mean the quieter, more enduring kind – the belief that you’re enough, just as you are. At Fearless Girls Club, this is something we care deeply about. Because while it’s brilliant to see girls achieving, performing and joining in, we’re more interested in how they feel about themselves  underneat
