Raising Confident Girls with Melissa Jones
Growing up Melissa was no stranger to the self doubt that so many girls feel everyday! She felt invisible and lacking a safe space to confidently be herself. This feeling took her to hard places that she hopes no girl ever has to reach. However, this journey helped her find her purpose…teaching!
Through 23 years of teaching, Melissa took her experiences and her passion for girls and launched The Girls Positivity Club!
Once a small group of girls from her class, The Girls Positivity Club is now a global movement partnering with parents and their daughters to embrace who they are and learn how to stay positive amidst life's biggest challenges.
Join Melissa every Tuesday on 'Raising Confident Girls' (A Girls Positivity Club Podcast) to talk about self care, positivity, raising confident girls, and practical lessons to integrate into your everyday! The Girls Positivity Club is spreading empowerment across the globe and you’re not gonna want to miss your chance to get on board!
Raising Confident Girls with Melissa Jones
When Your Daughter Seems Different Right After School Gets Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones explores something many moms notice when school ends: their daughter suddenly seems different. Maybe she's moodier, more emotional, more withdrawn, or surprisingly happier and more relaxed.
Melissa explains why these shifts are often a normal part of emotional decompression after months of academics, friendships, activities, and social pressures. What can look like attitude, boredom, clinginess, or withdrawal is often a girl’s nervous system adjusting to a new season.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why girls often react differently when school ends
- What emotional decompression can look like
- Why some girls seem heavier emotionally while others seem lighter
- How to respond with connection instead of immediately trying to fix
- Why emotional safety matters during transitions
- Simple ways to support your daughter as she settles into summer
Join Melissa for a reassuring conversation about helping your daughter navigate the transition into summer with understanding, patience, and connection.
