How to talk to girls: 8 ways to improve your daughter's self-esteem DayoftheGirl
. We build their self-esteem and then undercut the message by talking about how fat, forgetful or stupid we are.we are so keen to dismantle. “Our words and actions have a powerful impact on our children,” says Vancouver therapist Michele Kambolis.
This doesn’t mean you simply hand over the reins. Talk through all the various factors of making a decision, suggests Beth Malcolm, director of the Girls’ Fund at the Canadian Women’s Foundation. “And once she’s made up her mind, she needs to learn to deal with the consequences,” Malcolm says. So if your daughter decides not to wear rain boots on a field trip, don’t go dropping them off at the first sign of drizzle. Later on, however, empathize with her about how yucky soggy socks feel.
That doesn’t mean your daughter deserves a free pass on rude behaviour, though. “When I see my older daughter acting ‘bossy,’ I don’t slap a label on it,” says mother Sonia Giampietro. Instead, she talks about better ways to communicate ideas and collaborate with others.
