Even as a mom of a 2-year-old, I recognize the fact that connecting with your daughter can occasionally be hard. We have been blessed with a very strong-willed little girl who most certainly has her own mind. Since Sarabeth is only 2, it is fairly easy to find ways to spend quality time with her. Playing with cars, her princesses or coloring are some of Sarabeth’s favorite activities to pull me into. But as she grows, I certainly want to help Sarabeth become a girl of grace. A girl who lives her life for God and not according to the rules of the world.
So, I’m always on a lookout for tools that will help Sarabeth and I connect on a deeper level as she gets older. I was given a chance to go through the new Becoming a Girl of Grace joint Bible study for tween girls and their moms by Catherine Bird.

Becoming a Girl of Grace
Bird has created Becoming a Girl of Grace as a tool to help girls better understand 8 specific characteristics of women in the bible, and how they help you become a girl of grace. Rather than being specifically broken up by weeks, with certain tasks to be done each day, Bird broke the tasks into chapters. Each chapter can then be broken up however you wish. Each characteristic is based specifically off of women in the Bible who exhibit and live them out.
In addition to the actual Bible study, Bird has provided a facilitator’s guide so that you can choose to go through this study with a group of girls and their moms. She provides questions for further review and activities to engage in.
A Sweet Little Study
I enjoyed reviewing this study. The chapters are short, which means you can dig in more on the questions and scriptures provided. As a very type A person, I struggled a little with reading each chapter without the designation of what day to do certain parts of the study. But I also see the value in having the freedom to make the study work for you and your daughter. I loved reading the activities to accomplish together. And I know that moms will get just as much as their daughters out of this study. Not only will you come away knowing your daughter more, but it will push you out of your comfort zone. It will help you connect by doing silly activities together that may feel uncomfortable, but ultimately draw you both closer together.
I received a copy of this study from the author. This review is my honest opinion.
