Understanding Girl Cruelty

What does girl cruelty look like, and how can parents address it? For this enlightening conversation, I am joined by Shannon Addison, creator of My Crumby World, to explore the complexities of girl cruelty and its impact on children. Together, we share valuable insights on recognizing the signs, understanding the dynamics, and supporting girls in navigating challenges with resilience and confidence. Shannon offers practical strategies and heartfelt advice drawn from her personal and parenting journey, empowering families to foster connection, individuality, and emotional well-being.

Along with purposeful parenting tips, you'll learn the importance of building bridges for the next generation, and how storytelling and creative tools like Shannon’s “breadcrumbs” method can guide girls to embrace their authenticity. Whether your child has faced the challenges of peer cruelty or you’re wondering if your daughter might need help advocating for herself—or recognizing her own not-so-nice behavior—this episode offers actionable advice for raising compassionate, well-rounded children.
