Here’s a gift for the tween girl in your life – which may just make a difference to how she feels.
Two American mothers, Tricia Price and Mari Hower, have come up with the concept of letting girls everywhere know that the person they’re looking at in the mirror is amazing.
“From the time our girls are born, we tell them how smart they are, how beautiful they are, how brave they are and that they can be anything they want.
“We all protect our children as much as we can, but as we get older the world starts chipping away at their self-esteem.”
Tricia and Marci came up with the idea of t-shirts that reflect who girls are.
“They were created to cultivate and cherish. We want girls to look for their strengths, gifts and positive possibilities in each of them.”
Their company Reflect Who I Am creates and sells unique mirror image t-shirts exclusively for girls through their website reflectwhoiam.com
Young girls live in a society that often suggests they aspire to be someone else -- someone slimmer, prettier, and smarter.
According to a national study in the US, 70% of girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way including their looks, performance in school and relationships.
Tricia and Marci believe that without the foundation of a solid sense of self, girls are unable to take the risks and make the decisions necessary to lead a fulfilling, productive life.
They believe that their reflectwhoiam.com t-shirts are a chance to start changing those statistics and make an impact in a young girl's life.
The t-shirts sell for between $17-$19 and include ‘I am unique’, ‘I am fearless’, ‘I am beautiful’ and ‘I am loved’ and are available now for Australia.
