Teach your girl that she is not perfect, she is brave

A Brave Girl Stands Up For Everyone.


We are raising our girls to be perfect and our boys to be brave. (Said by Reshma Saujani founder of  " girls who code")
Just focus on the words which are written above. Our society and we all are just losing out because we're not raising our girls to be brave. We all are living in a society where we often praised our girls for being "beautiful" and "perfect" and we praised our boys for being "hard-working" and "brave". We girls are always taught by our society that "our values lies more in how we cook, how we dress up, how we look and how we maintain our body shape rather than in chances we take"  but another hand we always teach our boys that "Don't be afraid, try to work hard, don't try to be perfect". You know it's the main reason that our girls avoid challenges, easily give up on every thing and try to look beautiful while boys who are taught for working hard  and be brave they accept all the challenges no matter how difficult they are because we always teach our boys that "success comes with failure". Many girls of our country, community and world stop raising their voice because they are afraid to be the only one who is fighting for their rights and freedom.
 Today's girls are not living in a "fairy tale" . Teach your princess "it's OK to be a tornado with pretty eyes and brave soul". Teach her to take a good risks in life. Let her know what it feels like to fall. Make your girls brave enough that she can clearly explain what she thought of the world.  You know " 87% of girls believe that girls are judged on appearance instead of ability". Let your girls know it's ok to be imperfect sometimes, tell her that she has the capability to do anything  because girls that we see today in school's desk and in colleges are the women of tomorrow. "Be Brave, Be Happy"

Stay strong🙌🙌🙌

    Oh my god you are so right! I'm so tired of the stereotypical ways we raise girls from boys. Girls should be just as brave and hard working and determined and bada**! Thank you for the reminder :)

    Teach your princess "it's OK to be a tornado with pretty eyes and brave soul".

    I think you have some good points, especially in regards to what we teach boys v. what we teach girls, however, are you saying that aiming for perfection isn't brave?

      Aiming for perfection is good but but in a world where we live, we teach our girls that be perfect and I think that no one is perfect there is always something bad in us and from which we are fighting just make your girls perfect with their imperfections.

    Very true. I hope to have both a son and daughter in the future who are strong, brave, follow their heart and do not let the world get in their way. This is great food for thought!

    I definitely agree with you! At a very young age, girls need to know that they can succeed in whatever endeavor their heart desires!

    I am so against raising girls or boys based on stereotypes. I feel in today's time we need to be raising children regardless of their gender to be hardworking, confident, BRAVE, caring and helpful. Life isn't pretty and we need to raise tough girls especially. Thank you for sharing :) (www.beautywithzainy.com and www.spicyfusionkitchen.com)

    I agree with this completely, but it's only half the problem. We need to raise our boys to be sensitive and thoughtful as well, so the girls don't grow up and think they're only being judged on their appearance.

    100%! A colleague of mine and I were discussing about our team -- about six writer/editors from various nationalities. We all do varying degrees of the same thing, but then men get paid more, and advertise their work and accomplishments easily. The women are constantly second guessing their decisions, and the least likely to advertise their work. Despite the fact that we are all different ages, from different countries and cultures...imposter syndrome is rampant among the women. This needs to stop ! <3 Great post!

    This is absolutely true. I definitely grew up thinking it was more important to look good and be good for others than to be true to myself and be a good person...and my husband most definitely has the "gotta be a hard-working, tough guy" mindset lol

    A great refreshing read! I have 2 girls and a boy and I believe all of them are special, unique and will do great things. Helping them take a stand for truth is a powerful thing that transcends gender. Thanks for this reminder :)

    I was just recently at a baby shower for a little girl and there were "well wishes" cards for the guest to fill out for the new baby. One of the wishes was I hope you're not afraid to _____. In that blank space I wrote "to take chances and be different." Your post really speaks to this and I was so glad to impart sentiments from your post to a baby girl to come! Great post!

Work hard for your visions.

  "When The Vision Is Clear, The Result Will Appear. " This world full of people where we all want to be successful and we all are running towards success but according to me all those peoples are divided into two categories, one who dreams about being successful and other who sets visions. There is a big difference between being a dreamer and visionary.     If you want to be successful in life then set your visions because I think "every desired career demands basic skills and basic requirements and the most important  is vision" , ok I know all of you would thinks that why do I prefer you to set visions so here is your answer: "I think visionary is a person with genuine thoughts, great point of view, has a strength to face any type of situation peacefully and finds a solution of every problem that no one else ever imagined."   The first stage of your vision is to "be positive" because being positive opens a doors of an extraordinary po...

Do you wanna overcome your fear that what other people think about you???? " Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear" In life if you want something or you want to achieve your goals then you have to overcome your fears. Ok! Firstly I want to tell you that what is the " FEAR OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK" "An extreme form of shyness and timidity (easily frightened) .It may include as awkwardness and uneasiness when appearing in public "   You know the fear of what other people think is a prison. It stop you from reaching your full potential and stop you from enjoying your life to its fullest.    I couldn't bring myself to speak loudly in public or share my opinion with people just because I'm afraid of people .I think they point out at me and laugh at  my opinions . At school I'm also afraid of facing people I'm afraid of sharing my ideas and opinions with my teachers and mates because I think they make fun o...
