[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may sound hokey, and maybe too interfering since it's your niece, but have you brought up Girl Scouts with her parents? My daughter really grew in confidence after a year in scouting. [/quote] I agree. Girl Scouts is great at character building and helping girls feel good about themselves. My 11 year old DD has been in GS since she was 5 and she has a lot of confidence in herself, much more than I did at her age. She goes to GS sleep away camp every year. I would also say getting your DD involved in sports may help her build confidence in her abilities also. My DD swim competitively and plays team basketball. The sports helps her body to stay toned, which reduces the body image problems that can deflate confidence. You may also want to look into Girls on the Run and Girls, Inc., which I have heard good things about. [/quote]
