Great tips for me starting instilling pride in my daughter at an early age and show her that they’re consequence if rules are broken. I had an open door policy in my house, which means no one is allow to lock their door unless an adult gave permission. Television was off limits in the bedroom. My personal opinion kids follow adults set example early. My daughter is fine well-rounded young lady.

Great tips. I’m happy that our 16 year old is far from a mean girl however with our 5 year old that is a completely different story. It amazes me some days how you can parent the same way and end up with 2 different spectrum. Constantly trying to figure out what will work with one child while remembering what worked on another. Fun times.

I couldn’t even imagine our girls being bullies but I suppose it could happen. Thanks for these tips. Some of these things we already do but a few we don’t.

Those are great ways to teach our little ladies to behave like them. I know my kid isn’t perfect and so I stay watchful and connected. If there’s a behavior I don’t want continuing we address it right away.

I’m afraid my sarcasm might be a bad influence sometimes. She gets her sense of humor from me
