Читать книгу Rooted, Resilient, and Ready - Lindsay Sealey - Страница 9

Girls who are rooted have two feet firmly planted on the ground. They are certain and secure; fierce and fearless; unapologetic about who they are.

A rooted girl believes she is valuable and worthy. She accepts her strengths and areas of growth, knows her values. Society may pressure her to look a certain way, but she sets her own identity. She sees through the illusions of social media and chooses not to measure her self-worth through likes and followers. She knows her time is better invested in knowing herself.

Rooted girls use their voices to ask for what they need and to speak up for what matters most to them. They can clarify who they are and what they are becoming, their dreams and goals.

Rootedness is the solid foundation on which teen girls can stand. The deeper their roots, the stronger they will be. That is why we must help girls to be grounded and strong. When we see her as she is and “get” her by actively listening to her, she becomes more rooted, more confident, and more likely to grow into a strong and powerful woman.
