The tween years are a time of amazing growth, misunderstandings, and changes that seem to come at lightning speed. I’ve heard many parents say (and I’m one of them) “I wish there was a manual for this”. This, obviously, meaning figuring out how to best raise your tween-ager.
The Daring Book for Girls is the manual for everything that girls need to know, and we’re not talking about sewing and cooking here, but much more important life stuff.

Naturally, we’ve raised our teenage girls to have a voice, and to speak up about those things they think are important. But we also know, they can occasionally need other ways, when they’re not in a position to speak out, to express their worldview and social, philosophical and spiritual beliefs.
This cute feminist shirt communicates clearly their stand for equality for everyone on the planet, in a very sweet way. There are many fun feminist t-shirts out there, but naturally, not all of them will fly for school attire, but we definitely have a few favorites that fit the bill.
Talk to any teen, and they’re pretty ambivalent about jewelry, unless it has a bohemian vibe, which changes everything. Lots of girls right now are embracing the feelings and expressions of the hippie generation, and we, for one, welcome that. Teens today love less formal, more organic jewelry.

The tween years are just about the time when your daughter starts taking showers that are so long, the hot water runs out. Since this habit doesn’t actually stop until she leaves for college, she might as well have music while she’s doing it, right?

Giving your tween freedom to explore her own creativity is a huge gift on its own, but why not arm her with a Fuji Instax Mini 11 instant camera, so she can take selfies and pictures of her friends, and immediately have printed photos to decorate with. After all, this is a time when instant gratification is at the fore.
This little camera is a total winner when it comes to self-expression, and it’s a great gift for girls at this age.

The great thing about a girls’ gift like this, is that it creates more opportunities for you and your girl to spend quality time together.
