They are the apple of our eye, our sweet little girls. My child and most of her friends have now reached double digits. They are no longer little girls, soon they will blossom into lovely young ladies.
It’s our job to empower them to grow up feeling secure in themselves. Powerful girls learn to take action, making positive choices about their own lives and doing positive things for others. Here are some ways that many parenting experts say will help us raise powerful girls….
Encourage her to pursue a passion.
Let her have a voice in making decisions.
Let her solve issues on her own rather than fixing things for her.
Encourage her to go beyond her comfort zone, to take physical risks
Encourage your daughter to participate in team-building activities or join organizations that rely on teamwork.
Be honest with her.
Give her time to just play!
Having close friends that are like-minded and most importantly kind is an important part of her growing up. Help them foster positive, loving relationships. 
Let her know you love her because of who she is, not because of what she weighs or how she looks.
.Allow her to disagree.
Make time to listen to her on a regular basis.
Listen more, talk less.
Limit your daughter’s exposure to the media and popular culture.
Talk with her about her body and sex in ways appropriate to her age and your values. Yes, it’s really time to do that!
Keep her active.
Be the person you want her to be. Love yourself so that she can love herself too.
Help foster and flourish her relationships with a powerful women in your family, like an aunt or grandmother.
Most importantly, don’t forget to stop and really enjoy this special time with them. Enjoy them!
