I hadn’t read this one. This helps me understand your direction more with the ‘healthiest self’ post. I love the direction you are going in raising a little girl. Thanks for sharing.
]]>As someone who doesn’t have children yet, this post was so moving and powerful. I’m going to stash this away for when I do become a Mother because this discussion and your points are so incredibly important. It also makes me so thankful to my parents for having been so mindful of how they spoke around me and what they did to encourage and strengthen me in every way, especially in a family full of boys and being the only girl. As someone who babysits/nannies and has been doing so for 15+ years, it is fascinating to watch how children perceive things, what they pick up on so strongly and what they carry with them from an early age and beyond. Marlowe is such a hilarious, intelligent and loving little girl, and she will no doubt remember these lessons for years and years to come! xo – Molly
