creating sisterhood Creating Sisterhood is a movement, teaching young girls how to create sisterhood and helping the caregivers that support them to become the best coaches, guides and mentors for our girls HOW IT STARTED It all started when we were faced with what we would learn is an all-too-common parenting dilemma. Our daughter, then 8 years old, came home from school, clearly upset over being excluded from her group of friends. It was the first time we had faced this type of social situation, but we would soon learn it would not be the last. Over the months that followed, we did our best to help her navigate some pretty painful social situations. We even created some helpful tools and dialogue to help her build her confidence and resilience. However, after one particular hurtful experience, we took to social media, posting anonymously about our experience in a parenting Facebook group. Within an hour, our post was flooded with responses, each parent sharing their own painful experiences or that of their daughters. Many parents shared having to take drastic measures, like transferring schools or opting to homeschool their child. Many shared that this is just what happens, the female equivalent of “boys will be boys”. “This isn’t acceptable”, we thought. “We need to be doing better by our girls.” Little did we know that our experience would lead to something so much bigger… PROGRAMS Junior Program The Creating Sisterhood Junior Program teaches girls aged 8-11 to embrace empathy, kindness, and friendship while learning how to navigate social challenges, set boundaries, and build lasting, supportive relationships.
