Many parents are convinced that it is only in boys that a strong character needs to be nurtured.

However, there will be nothing wrong if a girl also has courage, determination and self-confidence.

A strong-willed character is very helpful not only to men, but also to the fair sex.

Therefore, mom and dad should do everything possible to ensure that their daughter becomes a psychologically strong person.

To do this, the girl’s parents need to follow three recommendations.

Explain that you need to be able to express your opinion

You should teach your daughter to express her own opinion correctly.

The girl should understand that she shouldn't be afraid to defend her point of view. But at the same time, she shouldn't "press" the opponent, insult or scold him.

At the same time, you need to listen to other people's opinions. You can agree or disagree with them, but you can't ignore them.

Explain that saying no is a good thing

A girl should understand that she is not obliged to always come to the aid of others or make serious concessions.

Explain to your daughter that there will often be situations in life when you have to say “no.”

It is desirable that the girl understands: she must refuse calmly, with apologies, but without feeling guilty.

Explain that it's okay to make mistakes

If a girl worries about every mistake, she will not be happy.

Explain to your child that a strong person takes mistakes calmly, but at the same time corrects them if possible.
