Whole Heart for Girls Teaches Girls How to Deal with Bullies, Mean Girls, and Self-Esteem
I write about what girls can do to remind themselves they are loveable and of value.” - Dr. Amy StarkSANTA ANA, CA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The loss of self-esteem starts early in life for girls. It leads to a void in self-love. Helping girls and young women find their value, and assure them they are not alone, is at the core of Dr. Amy Stark 's best-selling children's book Whole Heart for Girls . After nearly a decade of leading workshops and speaking on the topic, the clinical psychologist and author updated her popular book with illustrations to emphasize some of the experiences girls are facing.
“Whole Heart for Girls highlights feeling good about yourself – and that starts with loving yourself,” said Dr. Stark.“The new drawings, by artist Karina Nechval, illustrate how children are confronted by influential adults and classmates who bully, taunt, or show anger in different everyday situations. I write about what girls can do to remind themselves they are loveable and of value.”
The book includes a discussion section for parents to begin talking about self-esteem with their children at a younger age. Dr. Stark says by reading about self-esteem, discussing it and hopefully demonstrating it, children are taught that self-esteem does not come from being the best at anything or being perfect.
Whole Heart for Girls is part of a book series including Whole Heart for Boys, and Whole Heart for Young Women. Each book in the collection is priced at $8.99 and sold at amazon. More information is available on the author's website
