Quick Pitch: Girl Ambition is an empowering Web site for tween girls and their parents that promotes healthy self-esteem and Internet safety.
Genius Idea: Girl Ambition is site for girls by girls. Started by three working moms, the site hopes to provide a safe, fun, positive, and inspirational environment for tween girls and their parents. Girls can play games, participate in arts and crafts, take quizzes, email and chat with friends, and even raise a virtual pet. Parents can benefit from expert resources and advice on online safety, and how to stay hip to the trends that tween girls think are all the rage.
Girls will get a kick out of the entertaining video content from the Dani Girl Show and gab live tv, which encourages girls to create their own videos and upload them to the site. And if they're looking for creative activities, the activity studio is a place where they can find craft project ideas and submit their own ideas. Girls can also opt to play games, shop with their butterfly bucks, check their email, IM friends, and explore how they can participate in community projects.
Parents will love the privacy and monitoring options they can control, like having approval rights over their daughter's buddy list and email communications. They might also enjoy the information and resources available in the parents portion of the site, where they can check out hot tween topics, increase their internet savvy, explore family activities, and learn about online safety tips.
Girl Ambition offers a 30-day trial, but after the trial period parents will be required to buy a subscription plan that costs either $4.99/mo or $49.90/yr. Depending on the needs of you and your tweens, the expense might be worthwhile if you're hoping to satisfy your tween's online curiosity and expand upon your own tween wisdom.
