“…Research suggests that during this change, adolescent girls are more susceptible to increased emotional intensity and reactivity (Dahl & Gunnar, 2009). Some emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome are sadness, anxiety, irritability, and anger (Chrisler & Gorman, 2015). While the young brain is confusing and complex, girls need to understand their abilities to make decisions.…”

“…Besides the changes in the brain limbic system, the pre-frontal cortex is also changed; the executive function area that is responsible for making decisions, organization, impulse control, and future planning (WHO, 2019). Despite the huge brain development, the transition is an overwhelming experience that comes to the forefront of adolescent life (Chrisler & Gorman, 2015).

<p>Adolescence is one of the most rapid changes that happen across the human life span, where physical, psychological, emotional, and personality changes happen. Especially for young girls, it's a critical time to describe themselves, make decisions, and be confident around their peers. Many young girls struggle with their transition from childhood to adulthood. Girls navigate puberty differently than boys, not due to biological or psychological changes only, but to the gendered cultural meanings that they absorb and learn from their world. Contemporary adolescent development requires a new approach to involve adolescents in more active, engaging, and leadership roles. This project aims to create a game for young girls to explore challenging situations, and how they might respond can lend them an important degree of confidence and resilience. The educational game contains a series of prompts, questions, and challenging scenarios, where girls are not always meant to know the answer. The game will provide a guide to young girls to understand more about leadership identities and their thoughts, by making sense of their emotions and assembling them to allow them to thrive.</p>
