Many of the girls who seem the happiest and most capable are often the ones quietly stretched to their limit: polite, diligent, and smiling, yet coping rather than thriving.

In this lesson, you’ll learn three simple, practical ways to spot that hidden distress early on.

Before you hit play, hold in your mind a girl in your setting who’s doing everything “right” but who’s felt a little different lately, more rigid in her routine, over-apologetic, or masking her feelings behind a smile.

Reflection:
What’s one tiny clue you’ve noticed recently? (just a word or two will do)

Even a small observation can open the door to real support.

Keep noticing those micro-moments, share them with a colleague, and remember: the earliest whispers of distress are the ones we can most easily turn into hope.
