I wish I knew the secret of granting self confidence with one swell bite of advise to my daughter, but I am finding it not so easy. Some things are learned by experience I guess.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699310174949691171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26318678.post-27513631873266183252008-05-17T05:49:00.000-05:002008-05-17T05:49:00.000-05:00Girls are soooooooooooo special and they need so m...Girls are soooooooooooo special and they need so much more than boys.

Good friends are diamonds and while you should be kind to and give your smiles to everyone.. it is best to save real friendship for a small circle of real friends. It takes maturity to find those people.. and sometimes it takes becoming comfortable with solitude and looking inward.. making friends with books.. Solitude is underrated in my opinion. There is nothing like time alone and peace to find your equilibrium.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26318678.post-77678563373712000202008-05-16T11:51:00.000-05:002008-05-16T11:51:00.000-05:00Just know you are a remarkable mother!Just know you are a remarkable mother!An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26318678.post-61852416464878997262008-05-16T10:10:00.000-05:002008-05-16T10:10:00.000-05:00My son is highly sensitive, Deeply emotional, and ...My son is highly sensitive, Deeply emotional, and very social.<BR/>We've been dealing with bullies for at least a couple of years at school. Which has been really painful for me too. I've taught him a mantra to help him be calm and laugh a little when his classmates are mean and teasing: <BR/>"Water off a duck's back."<BR/>Plus we offer him the perspective of two grown up nerds who were teased as kids.<BR/>I've been reading "Raising Your Spirited Child" and it's helped me understand JUST how emotional and sensitive he really is!<BR/>Even though knowing this helps me understand him better and be a little bit more patient, I still get to say NO. :)<BR/>I am also NOT looking forward to my daughter encountering bully problems... girls ARE definitely more cruel than boys.CraftyTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318733873844194354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26318678.post-77148849504264647822008-05-16T05:49:00.000-05:002008-05-16T05:49:00.000-05:00Great post, Allysha.

There are similar "friend" problems at our school's recess. And in those times of counseling my own daughter about them, I often wish I could have picked up one of those personalities you speak of with "the gift of perspective and grace." I might borrow yours by example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
