"What do I say when she says 
she hates her body?"

— Real question we answered this week

From “I’m the Worst Mom” to “I’ve Got This.”

You’re not failing. You just haven’t had the right tools—until now. With a few simple shifts, even the toughest moments can feel manageable.

“Last week: ‘I’m the worst mom ever!’
 This week: ‘I actually feel like I know what I’m doing.’ Same child. New tools.” 


— Sarah M., mom of a 10-year-old

Before

  • Googling “Is a this normal?” at 2 a.m.
  • Another meltdown you weren’t ready for
  • Walking on eggshells
  • “Why is she so mean to ME?”
  • Feeling like you're constantly failing

After

  • Confident in what to say (even during tough moments)
  • Navigating friendship drama like a pro
  • Staying calm even when she’s not
  • Understanding it’s not personal — it’s development
  • Trusting your parenting instincts again

Sound Familiar?

You Need This If...

You find yourself second-guessing every response, wondering if you’re making things worse. The meltdowns come fast, and the calm 
moments feel rare. If you're tired of guessing and ready for real tools that actually work — this is for you.

  • You freeze when she says things like “I hate my body” or “No one likes me”
  • Daily routines feel like battles
  • Her attitude feels like a personal attack (even when you know it’s not)
  • You're frustrated with vague advice that doesn’t apply to girls
  • You want to stop yelling, but don’t know what else to do
  • You lie awake, worried you're messing her up

What To Say When You Have No Idea What To Say

STILL UNSURE?

But Will This Actually Work For My Daughter?

We know every girl is different — and so are the challenges that come with raising her. From meltdowns to identity questions, we offer expert, girl-specific guidance that goes beyond generic advice to give you real support when you need it most.

My daughter is really tough — will this even work?
We hear this a lot. If you're parenting a girl who seems extra intense, emotional, defiant, or unpredictable—you're in the right place. This isn’t generic advice. These tools were built for the big feelings, the power struggles, the “she’s not like other kids” moments. And they’re already helping moms of girls who feel impossible to reach.
How is this different from advice I get from friends or doctors?
Your friends care. Your doctor might mean well. But they’re not always walking through the emotional minefield of tween girlhood with you. We are. Our strategies are girl-specific, behavior-science-backed, and battle-tested by thousands of moms. This isn’t advice that works “in theory.” It’s practical, real-world support that works in actual messy homes.
What if I’m the problem?
That’s actually a sign you’re a great mom—asking that question means you care. The truth? Most of us were never taught how to handle tween meltdowns or manage our own triggers. This isn’t about blame. It’s about giving you tools to parent with more confidence, calm, and connection—even on your worst days.
What if my situation is too weird?
No story is too weird for us. Seriously. We've helped moms navigate everything from friendship betrayal roleplay to girls who flat-out refuse to leave their bedrooms. If it’s happening with a 6–12-year-old girl, chances are we’ve seen it—or something close—and we have tools that can help.
I’ve tried everything — why would this be different?
Because this isn’t about fixing your daughter. It’s about shifting how you respond, how you connect, and how you lead with calm authority—no yelling required. Most moms come here after they’ve tried it all. That’s exactly when it clicks. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing it differently.
Is it weird to cancel if I only need it once?
Not weird at all. Some moms just need one solid breakthrough to get unstuck—and that’s a win. Come in, grab what you need, and go. We’re here for the long haul if you want ongoing support, but there’s zero pressure. Take what serves you. Leave the rest.

She’s Only 6–12 Once — Make It Count

Each day you spend tiptoeing around her behavior is a lost chance to build connection. Don’t wait. Get the support you need to stop surviving and start thriving.
