To navigate their growing-up years, girls need support from the adults in their lives, skills to cope with pressure and communicate effectively and the confidence to rule their experiences. But as girls get older, it can be more and more difficult to form strong connections. One day she’s bold and confident, the next she’s distant and withdrawn. Understandably, the communication gap can make knowing what to do for her a challenge. If you’re looking for proven solutions to build connection with the girls in your life, you’ve come to the right place. ROX can help.
