Resources & Bridging
Being attentive to what girls are experiencing as they mature is a big help to girls. So take some time to understand the likes, needs, and abilities of girls at different ages. As you listen and learn along with girls, you may find it useful to review the highlights of their development. Here you'll find developmental abilities and needs of girls at various program levels. Of course, each girl is an individual, so these are only guidelines to help you get to know the girls. Plus, lots of resources for bridging to the next program level!
