Girls don’t always say, “I don’t feel heard.”
Sometimes they say, “It’s fine.” Or, “I don’t know.”
But what they mean is, “I don’t feel safe to speak.”
How Voice Loss Starts:
Between ages 8 and 14, girls often begin to value belonging over self-expression.
To avoid conflict or rejection, many start shrinking — not just their words, but their presence.
5 Signs She’s Going Quiet:
- She says “I don’t care” about things she once loved
- She apologizes when she shares
- She lets others speak for her
- She laughs when she’s hurt
- She avoids giving opinions
What You Can Do:
✨ Model openness. Share your own feelings out loud.
✨ Invite small truths. Ask, “What did you really think?” without judgment.
✨ Celebrate honesty. “Thank you for saying that — that was brave.”
✨ Create rituals of sharing. Like low-pressure evening check-ins.
Every girl’s voice matters — even when it’s quiet, messy, or unsure.
