My sister-in-law, Sarah, sent me this article a few weeks ago - 'How to Talk to Little Girls, by Lisa Bloom. and then it was posted on one of my favorite Blogs!
The article is about how we talk to little girls, and how it would be better for them if we refrained from complimenting or focusing their looks, and instead talked about books. or bugs. or any other interest they might have.
Brian and I thought it was a great article and we chatted about it for a while. It was an especially HOT topic since we are expecting to have a girl, and we want her to be strong, smart, adventurous and confident (that isn't wayyy to much to ask, is it?!).
We are definitely going to try and follow Lisa Bloom's advice. I think we will need all the good advice and help we can get.
How did these women grow up to be so amazing?
