Avoiding the use of dangerous phrases is an important part of raising a girl.

When communicating with their child, parents must find the right words.

In this case, the daughter will develop adequate self-esteem and will not develop complexes.

Unfortunately, many mothers and fathers still make mistakes by saying unnecessary phrases.

"You're a girl!"

This exclamation often concludes an entire speech in which the undesirability of a girl choosing a “boyish” hobby is mentioned.

Has your daughter decided to love football? Don't forbid her to play this sport. And don't force stereotypes on your child.

"You must be..."

There is no need to make a whole list of "responsibilities" for a girl. And you cannot name the character traits that a young representative of the fair sex should supposedly possess.

There is no need to tell your daughter that she should be kind, calm, modest, diligent, and hardworking.

And there is no need to tell the girl that she must be able to cook well.

The thing is that such attitudes have a negative impact on children. One discrepancy - and the child will develop complexes.

"You are the most beautiful!"

There is nothing wrong with compliments as long as they do not inflate a child's self-esteem.

You can call your daughter beautiful. But you definitely shouldn't say that she is prettier than all the other girls.

"You have a big nose"

It is not advisable to pay attention to the flaws in the girl's appearance. Because of this, the daughter may not accept herself as she is.
