Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (1 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

A Mighty Girl is a helpful resource for both kids and parents trying to navigate the challenging world of kids' media. Founders Carolyn Danckaert and Aaron Smith have done an excellent job of bringing together the best and most empowering books, movies, and toys that help instill a sense of confidence and self-reliance in young girls.

Parents should feel comfortable letting their daughters browse the site (under parent supervision) to pick out their own products and create a wishlist. The site is pretty new, so it's still growing, but it's easy to use and has some really fun features; click the Character Collection tab and you'll get lists of classic female characters from all media. Wordgirl? Yes! Frida Kahlo? Totally! Xena, Warrior Princess? Well, okay.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about what it means to be "A Mighty Girl." Do your kids feel like they can do anything they want with their lives? If not, why not?

  • Parents can share their own favorite, female-positive role models with their kids and discuss what role models their kids look up to. Take a look at our article "Why Media Role Models Matter" for tips and conversation starters.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
