GOOD GIRL DEPROGRAMMING - TEEN EDITION

A bold, brave workbook for girls aged 10-14 who are tired of being told to be ＂nice,＂ ＂quiet,＂ or ＂perfect.＂

From the moment they can talk, many girls are taught to be helpful, polite, pretty, and pleasing - but who really benefits from all that goodness?

THIS BOOK HELPS GIRLS UNLEARN THE PRESSURE TO PLEASE AND RECONNECT WITH THEIR OWN VOICE, CHOICE, AND POWER.

Inside, readers will find relatable stories, big questions, and space to reflect on who they really are - not just who they’re told to be. Through journaling, drawing, and creative activities, they’ll explore themes like boundaries, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-worth.

Topics include:

• Saying no without guilt
• Setting boundaries and trusting your gut
• Speaking up and standing strong
• Being kind without losing yourself
• Handling pressure and big emotions
• Figuring out what you believe

NO TESTS. NO GRADES. JUST REAL TALK AND ROOM TO GROW.

Created by psychologist Michelle Minnikin and teacher-tutor-business owner Caroline Bowmer, this is more than a workbook - it’s the start of a lifelong conversation.

INCLUDES FREE ACCESS TO THE CAREGIVER COMPANION - a supportive guide for the trusted adults walking alongside her, full of insights, conversation prompts, and tools for unlearning together.

FOR FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES WHO WANT TO RAISE GIRLS WHO THINK, FEEL, AND SPEAK FREELY.
