What Parents Need to Know

About GirlsChoiceInc

Parents need to know that this Web portal for girls 7-12 is a safe place to explore. The topics and articles are kid-friendly, and to submit a photo, parents must mail in a signed minor release form they download from the site (although to submit advice questions or content, kids must include their age, telephone, address, and email). The site also features games from kid-appropriate site Novel Games that users can send to friends after entering their friends' and their own email addresses. There is a link on several pages to the Girls Choice boutique where kids can get all kinds of company apparel and gear.

    Perfect site for Girls of all ages!

    With the pressures our children face, it's very conforting to know that there is a website that supplies our girls with empowerment to make positive choices, smart choices, and an understanding that they can enforce their own individuality. Great Job!!!

    Excellent site for girls

    Finding a site where young girls can participate without the pressure of behaving badly is a huge issue for parents. Girl's Choice offers girls a place for practical advice, fun and games while parents don't have to worry about sexual language or any objectionable material. My kids love it. Great job Girl's Choice!
