Girl Power

Girls just wanna have fun, but sometimes it’s not that easy. Boys, friends, hair, self-esteem…ugh, it’s just too much to take-and I’m only 12! Mommy, I had a bad day. About 20, er, maybe 30 years ago (okay 40), you’ve been there, done that, and now it’s your turn (and duty) to be the one she goes to for help. Eeek, not sure where to turn?

Does sloshing through ankle deep water, in a pair of Chanel pleated silk pumps, after 3 Long Island Iced Teas on girls night out seem easier than conjuring up words of wisdom for your precious, pre-teen daughter? Dr. Phil, sit this one out. You can’t touch this. Featured in the Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today, among many others, Beaconstreetgirls.com is a consumer/entertainment brand committed to the health and well being of girls 9-13. The mission of the company is to provide the kind of positive role models and empowering messages that help girls believe in themselves whatever their challenges (usually dumb boys). The BSG brand crosses socio-economic barriers and provides problem-solving tools within an entertaining format that girls can apply to their own lives. Anchored by the award-winning Beacon Street Girls book series, BSG is fresh, inspirational, multi-cultural and richly detailed. Informed by current research (advisor Sheryl S. Leach created Barney!), on how to strengthen girls’ self esteem, BSG stories offer fun, friendship and socially responsible values in a contemporary setting. Not only is the site a Shangri-La for young girls but also an educational and informative stop for parents and educators. Like a baby Myspace, girls can create profiles, blogs, network with other BSG girls, create videos, download posters, comics, wallpaper, etc. There are enough features on Beaconstreetgirls.com to keep your baby busy until she tires of looking for new shoes (ahem, never). Fun such as, BSG Cares, BSG Global, Hangin’ Out, Healthy You, Polls & Quizzes, Book Club, are just a few things to keep your cutie happy. So, the next time Baby Jane comes crying, you know what to do…help her log on to her laptop, fire up yours, sit side by side, and solve your problems together.
