How to Teach Girls They're Just as Worthy as Boys

Inside this guidebook, you'll find concise how-to instructions, age-appropriate ideas, and real-life scenarios for helping girls (ages 6-12) overcome gender bias by increasing their gender-equality confidence. These are the steps we found to be the most effective for making sure your message sinks in:

1. Define gender bias together and give her specific options for responding to it.
2. Provide options for helping her feel included in girl power.
3. Create a gender-equal home environment.
4. Explain consent at her level so she feels like she owns it.
5. Guide her toward discovering and exploring her passion.
6. Create a dedicated project space just for her.
7. Help her find the right role model.

Please note: Instead of general advice like 'be a good role model' or 'talk about feelings,' our guidebooks provide specific, age-appropriate examples and step-by-step instructions for integrating DEI values into daily life at home.
