Why does this question matter???
Because if your daughter doesn’t have one, then there is a stronger likelihood that she is not nourishing her sense of self as much as we need to to create strong self confidence and self esteem.

When we guide our girls to use their natural love of learning (with topics they gravitate toward) it helps them understand what makes them unique and special, which naturally grows that confidence!

If she only uses technology as her “free time activity” find ways to help her tap into an offline activity (not school related) that she enjoys!
My bet is that you will see a shift in how she see and talks about herself ❤️

None of us are perfect… even when we have the skills, sometimes it’s hard to use them! As adults we have more experience in using them and our brains are more developed so, we can model these skills more consistently BUT… we all still are human!
The thing to remember is that if we model it as consistently as possible and show our girls how to use it- then accept responsibility and repair when we slip up… our girls see it, they embody it, and they use it! This is an example of my daughter showing me grace and a reminder that that is a two way street!

I can’t tell you how many times my intents may not have matched my words and actions with my girls. But the magic happens when I circle back and take accountability for that!
In those moments they see that I can set aside my pride and use self reflection to connect…. Which is exactly what I’m asking them to do with me too ❤️

Yep!!!!

There might be some truth to this! 😂

We all feel it… the pressure to make things perfect during this time of year!
Be all the places.
Do all the things.
Fulfill their wishlists.

But here’s the thing:
The ONLY thing that really matters is the time spent together that builds and reinforces our love and connection! It may sound cliche but, if you ask her what gifts she received 3 years ago I bet she’d have a hard time remembering.
If you rephrased it to “what was your favorite thing we did together at Christmas?” my bet is she will have a pretty specific answer!

It’s easy to get caught up in all the other stuff. Just ask yourself what YOU remember as the best things from your teen years during the holidays.
For me, it wouldn’t be the items I received as gifts.

So spend your energy on the things that build connection and don’t forget to stop and enjoy it in the moment yourself!

THIS is where the magic memories take place. ❤️

Passing down emotional generational wealth involves creating an environment where positive emotional practices and values are consistently demonstrated and taught. We can’t do it right every time but if we aim for the percentage to be higher that we do then don’t… they will usually stick🥰.
