Discovery Girls is a national magazine aimed at girls between the ages of 8 and 13. Their mission is to inspire and encourage girls to be more confident and resilient and help them deal with those difficult situations that all girls run into growing up. The magazines give them advice and wholesome content addressing everything from peer pressure, to hairstyles, to future careers.
I was interested in doing this review, as I have boys I’m kind of out of it when it comes to what girls are up to nowadays. I was impressed by the magazines I received and there content. The ages 8-13 are so important in a girls life and the information in these magazines is empowering. The language it is written in is age appropriate yet hip enough to keep a girls interest.
Much of the content comes form the girls themselves. Their embarrassing moments, their questions answered and statistics gathered from their answers from polls and surveys. All this content helps connect them to each other and realize they’re all going through the same thing in their own unique way.
They also feature real girls on the cover and in every issue. Twelve girls from a specific state are chosen to inspire the readers, and there are never celebrities on the covers.
I also had the opportunity to checkout Discovery Girls: Fab Girls Guide to Friendship Hardships. It’s part of a four book series from Discovery Girls. I passed it on to my niece, she’s 8 and she said, “It was a good book.” I asked her if she found the information helpful and she said, “yes” Okay, so she didn’t say much, but she did like the book and magazines and is looking forward to reading more. I wish I would have had these resources when I was younger. The book gives useful information on how to know if someone is a true friend or if the relationship is not good for you. It helps get your daughter through the drama of discovering who your friends are at this tough time.
These would make great gifts for any girl! Discovery Girls has been kind enough to sponsor a giveaway here at Be Your Best Mom!
