Three Ways to Empower Girls’ Creativity, and Three Phrases to Stop Using Now
Amy Morin, Psychotherapist and Author of “13 Things Strong Kids Do: Think Big, Feel Good, Act Brave” Shares Steps for Breaking Gender Stereotypes and Inspiring Future Female Creatives.
Amy will also discuss findings from a new LEGO Group study revealing how language negatively affects girls’ creative confidence.
Today’s parents try their hardest to elevate their children’s success equally between genders, yet many still face challenges. A new study from the LEGO Group looks at how parents of children perceive creativity and whether creativity takes on different meanings depending on whether their child is a boy or girl.
The study examined how language affects girls' creative confidence, with society attributing “sweet”, and “pretty”, exclusively to girls, while “brave”, and “innovative” are more often linked to boys. The findings revealed over half of children believe adults listen more to boys' creative ideas than those of girls, and 76% of parents agree that society takes male creatives more seriously than females.
Amy Morin discusses the new study and share steps to help parents foster creativity in girls. She also shares common phrases that hurt confidence in children and ways to champion progress over perfection.
