The BFF Bootcamp™ 💜 Girls & Mum | Palm Beach, Gold Coast 🌊 Ages 8-13
Introducing Our BFF Bootcamp
A Mother & Daughter Workshop for Building & Mastering Lifelong Relationship Skills 💕
Remember the rollercoaster of friendships at age 10? The whispered secrets, the birthday party invites, the painful playground moments?
Now imagine having the tools back then to navigate it all with confidence.
Why Our Bootcamp Is Important
Your daughter is at a critical age where friendship experiences shape not just their school days, but their understanding of relationships for life.
Research shows that the friendship patterns girls develop between ages 8 -13 become the blueprint for:
How they value themselves
Their future relationships
Their ability to set healthy boundaries
Their emotional resilience
Their sense of belonging in the world
Yet in today's complex social landscape, many girls are struggling:
67% of girls this age report feeling left out or lonely at school
8 in 10 mothers wish they had better tools to help their daughters navigate friendship challenges
