Heading back to school in the fall is an exciting time for girls — it’s a time to reconnect with friends, try new sports, and learn new subjects. Starting a new school year gives girls a chance to show off their upbeat personalities and self-assuredness. As a parent, there are a number of ways to emotionally support and empower your daughters when they go back to school, like encouraging them to embrace their interests, modeling positive self-talk, and making sure they feel comfortable in their own skin. An easy way to inspire girls as they go into the new school year is to equip them with outfits they feel bold, bright, and brave in! Clothing plays a huge role in girls’ confidence, so give them lots of mood-boosting outfits to choose from. These looks from Athleta Girl will help girls feel comfortable and courageous when they go back to school.
