Especially safe communities of people that teach them great life lessons like self-confidence and courage. And getting girls to go to camp especially in the summer where they can meet new friends, learn new things, and not just sit at home and watch TV.

I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
