Raising Confident Daughters Day 2: Provide Role Models
Help your daughter create a Self-Esteem Network. Does she have people in her life that she looks up to? Make sure she gets to spend time with them! Choose special days throughout the year and dedicate them to the people she loves. Use an existing calendar or create a personalized photo calendar online to pencil-in bonding appointments, and set aside time for her to spend quality time with each important person.

My dd looks up to me. She tells me all the time when she grows up she wants to be like me, she even wants to be a teacher like me (I'm not a teacher yet, I'm still in school). Some of her other role models are her grandmothers, she told me the other day she didn't like Wendy's because one of her grandmothers doesn't like Wendy's. Lol, so of course I had to tell her she shouldn't dilike something because someone else does, she needed to try it and make up her own mind.
My girls seem to look up to me. Allora sings and dances like I do and even with me! HIkari will workout with me. They both will sit and do school work while I do mine. Hikari even drew a picture of a what she wants to ne when she grows up!

She said she wants to be a Good Nurse like me! Mind you, I am only a Patient Care Assistant right now, but Lord willing, I will be graduating in December and taking my RN NCLEX exam in January!
She looks up to me, HUGELY. In my mother's day card this year she talked a lot about wanting to be "just like me". LOL I made sure to discuss with her that she will be HER, and I would hope she would not emulate the not so great aspects of ME.
She also looks up to her aunties and her father.
I find this motherhood gig to be fraught with pressure.
