Overprotectiveness

Many parents believe that girls, unlike boys, can be safely spoiled.

But this is the wrong approach. Overprotection and the desire to please your daughter in everything will have a bad effect on the child.

Firstly, if a girl has a brother, then the relationship with him will not be the best due to inequality.

Secondly, the daughter will think that everyone owes her something. Inflated self-esteem and the image of a "princess" can ruin the child's life.

Thirdly, the girl will not learn important social skills and will not be able to cope with problems on her own.

Bans on "boyish" hobbies

It happens that girls become interested in activities that are mistakenly considered exclusively for men.

We are talking about various types of sports, about repairing this or that equipment, etc.

Don't try to stop your daughter from doing what she likes, and don't force traditional "girly" hobbies on your child.

Reluctance to praise the child

Overprotection is bad. Ignoring your daughter's successes and not wanting to motivate her is no better.

Praise the girl for all her achievements. Also, tell her often how beautiful she is. This is very important for a little girl.
