BE YOURSELF!
Encourage her to embrace her true, weird and wonderful self! Don’t try to change who you are for anyone!
SAY WHAT YOU THINK
Make sure your daughter knows that she should never be afraid to speak her mind and stand up herself!
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITIES
Having self-confidence can take years to master, but instilling this into your daughter from an early age will make sure she believes in herself!
DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP
Asking for help can seem like a weakness, but it’s not! Whilst you should encourage her to be strong, remind her that it’s ok to need help from others now and again.
LOVE YOUR BODY
With more and more pressure from the media these days for young girls to look a certain way, teaching your daughter to love her body is one of the most important life lessons you can give her!
HAVE A PASSION
Find something that you really LOVE! Whether it’s a sport or hobby, be passionate about something and don’t be afraid to show it!
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS
Learning to listen to the little voice inside your head as to whether something feels right or not is so important! Teach your daughter to always trust her gut.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO FAIL
Whilst you want your daughter to be successful, remind her that sometimes the best way to learn is from your mistakes, and that everything happens for a reason!
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!
Whether it’s her first boyfriend or her husband, teach your daughter to love hard and have an open heart, and hopefully she’ll be loved that way in return!
DON’T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY
Perhaps one of the most important life lessons is not take yourself too seriously! Life is pretty fun, after all!
