Part of Raising Humans Series

Girls today are growing up in a digital jungle — a fast, visual, and increasingly sexualised world that shapes how they see their bodies, their worth, and what they come to believe is “normal.”

In her counselling practice, Dr. Martha Tara Lee regularly hears from parents who feel anxious and outpaced: puberty arriving earlier, menstruation and body image struggles, and online grooming that no longer looks like “stranger danger,” but instead appears as attention, flattery, and secrecy.

In the spirit of International Women’s Day 2026 and its focus on Agency over Anxiety, this live virtual talk moves beyond simply “protecting girls” toward equipping them. Drawing on Dr. Lee’s Straits Times commentary on the manosphere and 17 years of clinical experience, the session offers practical, age-appropriate guidance to help parents support girls in developing body literacy, strong boundaries, discernment, and voice — so they can navigate a sexualised, algorithm-driven world with confidence rather than fear.

The session is designed to feel safe, flexible, and low-pressure. Participants may keep their video on or off, ask questions live or via chat, or simply listen in. A replay recording will be available for those who prefer to watch later or revisit the content.

P.S. Raising Boys in the Digital Jungle: What Parents Must Know About Sex, Screens & the Manosphere has concluded, and the full recording is available for purchase here.

🌿 What You’ll Learn

  • How girls are sexualised online (and why it starts younger than many parents expect)
  • What grooming looks like today — the common patterns, red flags, and how it escalates
  • How to talk about menstruation and puberty in a way that builds body respect (not shame)
  • Body image + social media: filters, comparison culture, and what actually helps
  • What to say when you find worrying content (without panic, threats, or shutdown)
  • How to teach boundaries, consent, and self-protection in age-appropriate ways
  • Conversation starters for different ages — so she keeps talking to you
  • Everyday practices that strengthen confidence, discernment, and help-seeking

👥 Who This Is For

  • Parents and caregivers of girls aged 5 – 17
  • Educators, counsellors, and youth mentors
  • Grandparents or extended family involved in caregiving
