Girl Child

Recently I read a poem here on deviantart and it really got me to thinking. I thought about how my little three year old needs to always hear from me that she's ok being who she is no matter what the rest of the world says. Children need to be reminded of our unconditional love in a wide variety of ways, not just from us saying it with words. Our actions as parents show so much more to our little ones than our words ever will. This starts when they are very small and continues for the rest of their lives! 

The world will influence my children no matter how much I try to protect their sense of self. When my daughter starts to doubt me I will have the opportunity to pull out the writings I am doing now and show her how much I have always loved her for everything she is. I can only hope that she will have the strength to continue being who she is, no matter what the world tells her is right or wrong.
