    Girl Power! the 7 Most Important Ways to Empower Your Daughter

    It's a sad but true reality that girls of all ages face violence, discrimination and abuse every day in third world countries. While, we may not suffer from poverty and we definitely aren't living in an abusive environment, perhaps that's why I am so passionate about powering my own daughter, even at this young age. I want her armour to be strong and resilient. The following 7 ways I empower my little girl, now and for the future - are the ones that stand out as the most important to me: - By Selena Burgess

      Discourage Peer Worship
      Doing as such will help her become less shy in large groups and with her peers in voicing her own wishes and opinions. Teaching a child the difference in being assertive and aggressive can be tricky. They have a natural desire to want to please, make friends and fit in. It's up to me to show my little girl that she can have a independent voice and those things too.
