Confidence.

Yes, I know. Your daughter has ALWAYS done well in school and never seemed like she had a lack in self confidence. As she is nearing those dreaded teenage years however, it is nice to know that with a few extra steps, you can send her back to school with a spring in her step and a smile not soon to fade.

So what are these magic steps to increase her confidence level?

Nail her Hairstyle

Do you know how amazing you feel after a trip to the salon? Pretty freaking amazing, right?

Now translate said excitement onto your daughter.

A new haircut can go a long way in boosting the confidence of a preteen girl. Even just a trim can leave her feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. Let her take a spin through the latest haircuts for her age group and make an evening of mother/daughter haircuts!

No time for the salon? Take a dive through the hundreds of hair tutorials on Pinterest or YouTube! You may just find your daughter’s new favorite up-do, and discover your sanity in knowing that she can do this one herself.

A Backpack to Match her Style

One thing I have learned since my daughter began school, it is that a cool backpack is everything! Seriously, we have spent WAY too long in the backpack section of entirely too many stores trying to find the “perfect” one.

This year, Addi was able to find perfection and style in her personalized shimmer initial backpack from Justice. This bag was made to keep up with the spirit and adventure of your preteen, and has the pocket space to keep up with all of her gear.

As far as backpacks for girls go, this bag was built for use with its comfy padded straps and its sturdy zip closure. I was stoked to see it would hold up to Addi’s wear and tear. She on the other hand, was much more excited about the sparkle this bag provided! Not to mention the fuzzy pom keychain that made her squeal! Plus, the look on her face when she realized it was personalized with her initial? Perfection!

You can get the initial backpack and all of the coordinating accessories from justice.com, or shop the 13 initials available in stores!

Accessories to Accent her Personality

What is a girl without her accessories?

I do not know about you, but my daughter tends to be most confident when she is prepared. Justice helped to prepare her for any situation with their matching school accessories that make back to school shopping such a breeze!

Addi is now equipped to take her lunch with her matching initial lunchbox, or eat at school with her coordinating wristlet! She also has a daily reminder of her FEARLESS strength with her matching pencil pouch.

I mean, can you get more perfect than that?

Graphic Tee’s that put a Smile on her Face

With crazy nerves over the first day of school, stressing over the perfect outfit can be a major bummer. Justice made picking out Addi’s outfit for the first day of school super easy with their adorable graphic tees!

With girls tops this cute, your daughter’s smile will shine bright, and her confidence will soar! Plus, boasting positive statements, they are great conversation starters for your child and her friends.

A Message that Speaks to Her Heart

The last way to ensure your preteen girls confidence is soaring during back to school is with something that cannot be bought.

Sending your little girl back to school with a message of strength, encouragement and inspiration is a must for any mom. Whether it is through a conversation, a quote you write on her hand, or even a note in her lunch on the first day. Kind, empowering words can do so much to give your little miss a huge confidence boost on her first day!

No matter how you send the message along with her, you are guaranteed to have it as a great conversation starter once she arrives back home after an exciting first day. So Pinterest away mom’s, this one is on you!
