Raising Confident Daughters Day 1: Open Up Conversation
Self-esteem doesn't mean feeling good about yourself all of the time. People who have strong self-esteem are able to recognize and understand their feelings. It's important to be able to talk about things with your daughter when she's happy and when she's down.
Sit down and talk to your daughter about what bothers her and what makes her proud! What is your daughter most proud of?
Don't forget, you need to respond to 10 of the challenge posts to be entered to win the $50 gift card! Sign up here for daily reminders.
My daughter is proud that she tried to go tubbing for the first time and that she did something new.
My daughter is proud of everything she tries to accomplish. Even if she dosen't fully suceed in everything she may try,she knows that she gave it her all. She is espically proud of her reading progress.
My daughter excels in school and music. We are also very pleased with her in those areas. I also think it is important to remind her that if there is a class that takes a little more work, or one that she gets a B in, it is not the end of the world. So, I have tried to emphasize the traits in her that I see that maker her a strong person that she can control no matter what. Her tendency to be kind to others and see the good in people first. And her natural cheerful disposition that draws people to her.
She is very proud of being so good in school. She loves math and science the most. She's 8 years old and loves her science experiment books, her telescope and doing math problems. Yeah, she LOVES it. Gets it from her dad, not me. LOL...
She's also proud of being artistic. She loves anything dealing with art. If I had all the money in the world, she'd spend it at Michael's! She could be in that store forever!
I don't know what to put here but we had a nice chat the 1st day but we we've very busy.
Happy Mothers's Day!
