Product Description
Product Description
During adolescence, if a girl isn’t careful, she can fall into a trap called the Girl Box—a place where the way she looks is more important than who she is, where having a boyfriend is worth giving up a piece of her identity. This is a very serious problem, one that can lead to substance abuse, eating disorders, early sexual contact, and depression. Now Molly Barker, founder of the dynamic Girls on the Run® exercise program, has created a ten-week self-esteem-building plan that will instill resiliency in young girls and enhance their emotional, social, physical, mental, and spiritual health. The activities and lessons are designed for parents and girls to do together and include

Inspiring for parents and coaches

This is a great book for parents of young girls and boys as well as anyone else who works with kids. On days when things are rough, reread the stories Molly tells to remind you that you are making a difference. Thanks Molly!

I am a mother of a 7 y.o. girl and 4 y.o. boy. I bought this book simply because I could see my daughter heading towards the pitfalls of the "girl box". I just searched for books about running and kids. I ordered it used and it was in pristine condition. I didn't read any reviews nor did I know who the author was. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and it was signed by the author. But it wasn't until page 2, that I realized what I had. Girls on the Run is a program that I so desperately want my daughter involved in but she's not of age yet. Admittedly, I haven't even finished the book yet but I am excited to have some of the same strategies to work with at home until she turns 8. Molly's story is so real and inspiring!! What she's done and is doing is nothing short of phenomenal. I am looking forward to the knowledge getting out of my girl box and helping my daughter never get in hers!!!! Thanks Molly!!!
Great advice, story and fun!

This is a great book for any woman with or without a child. I do not but I'm a coach so work with young girls. It offers advice and lessons that help strengthen relationships.
