I'm in the middle of watching this agonizing transformation in my own nine-year-old daughter, which I've written about extensively on Medium. I've read that girls' confidence peaks at age nine, and I feel so helpless against the poison I know she will encounter, and already is encountering, in society at large. I know I can counteract it to some extent, but will it be enough? I feel I am only just coming into my own (or reclaiming my own?) at age 40 and I don't want her to flail for as long as I did. Thanks for your message, let's hope we can do better for our girls.
