How to raise your daughter to be the next Bill Gates, according to a psychotherapist via CNBCMakeIt
"You can become anything you want," we often tell our daughters — and yet, our own actions sometimes send a slightly different message.
I address all these issues in my book, "13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don't Do." Because we raise girls a little differently, we inadvertently encourage them to engage in unhealthy habits that could limit their potential — and those habits begin in childhood. It's not surprising to learn that Gates was a rule-breaker. Perhaps it's because these kids aren't afraid to disrupt industries and pave new paths.
Teach her how to calculate the risks associated with taking action, as well as the risks associated with doing nothing. This can help her decide when to face her fears, and when to push herself to overcome obstacles.
