Agency in Action: Small Choices That Lead to Big Confidence

Confidence grows when girls practice agency — making small decisions that reflect their values. In Metro Manila, even simple choices like standing up for a friend or trying a new activity can build lasting resilience.

What parents can do:

• Give your child age-appropriate choices, like managing her schedule or picking extracurriculars.

• Discuss the “why” behind decisions to connect actions with values.

• Celebrate when she takes initiative, even in small ways.
