Rites for Girls

There's so much pressure on girls to 'fit in'. In our Girls Journeying Together groups we make it safe to worry less about being judged and see what it feels like to be yourself instead. Groups are taking place through lockdown. Find a Group near you > ow.ly/jGnj50D50r0

@sewateruk Could you give us an update please on RH19 water supplies. We have a vulnerable disabled child and need to know if we need to leave home

Water is reaching the final properties in Tunbridge Wells who were without yesterday & overnight. Our teams continue to fix leaks and bursts so supplies may be intermittent. The bottled water station at Tesco Superstore, Pembury, TN2 4NE will be open until 9pm.

@HadleyFreeman @VictoriaPeckham At Rites for Girls we offer girls exactly what you wrote about: we help preteen girls prepare for puberty and learn how to take charge of their emotional, social, and mental well-being and we celebrate how brilliant it is to be female.

@millihill What a generous offer Milli. We would love to bring The Period Book to our Girls Journeying Together groups of girls aged 10-12.

Wow. Lots of new followers. As it's also mother's day, when I hit 30k I'd like to celebrate by giving some copies of My Period to school libraries, groups for girls or other worrhwhile places. Please comment your suggestions and nominations ❤️ (UK only) amazon.co.uk/dp/1526363372

A call out to women who want to support girls through puberty and menarche: @RitesforGirls have Facilitator training starting in April. It looks amazing. 😍ritesforgirls.com/facilitator-tr…

@annieridout I can help. Mother of three home educated kids (til a level), set up local HE community starting with five and now hundreds, and founder director of Rites for Girls where we work with preteen and teens in groups and author of From Daughter to Woman’.

Looking for child psychologist to share thoughts and insights (today) on the socialisation of homeschooled children. Particularly interested in any research on the amount of hours kids need around their peers, and whether it varies depending on personality type #journorequest

@happyhenry @tom_peters Henry, you invited our questions for Tom, here's mine: Why does he think that "women are better leaders, better negotiators, better business owners, better investors and better fit for new economy needs."

Fabulous interview with @tom_peters. Its all about the small stuff, the moments that show you care. Hear it at the 2021 Happy Workplace conference, July 22nd: happy.co.uk/conferences-ev… Thank you, Tom

Some much-needed #MondayMotivation! We must remember we are all struggling in one way or another with the pandemic, we must support each other and be kind.

The pandemic has taken a severe toll on all of us, especially the young. "Mental health services in England do not have the capacity to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on children" - full article > theguardian.com/society/2021/j…

But don't be hard on yourself, just bear it in mind when you're losing it that you probably need a bit of time out so you don't say anything you'll regret. Self care is child care. 💖

Some #WednesdayWisdom this morning from Oprah!
