A few important rules to teach your daughter

A few important rules to teach your daughter:

1. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt.
But, wash your face, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.

2. You are a woman, you do NOT need a man, but you can absolutely enjoy your life with a good one.

3. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.

4. Never walk through an alley alone.

5. ‘Can’t’ - is a cop-out.

6. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.

7. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.

8. Stay true to yourself always.

9. Your body, your rules.

10. If you have an opinion, you’d better know why.

11. Practice your passions.

12. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.

13. Wish on stars, and then get to work to make them happen.

14. Stay as sweet as you are.

15. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.

16. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are!

17. Question everything ... except your own intuition.

18. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.

19. No matter where you are, you can always come home.

20. Be happy and remember your roots.

21. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

22. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.

23. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown.

Twiddle a few round a bit and all of the above can be applied to our sons...and ourselves come to that.

Well yes, that’s why I liked it. These are things I say to my children all the time.
Numbers 1, 17 and 21 are my favourites.

Numbers 1, 8, 12, 18, and 22 stand out to me.
And because I tried to teach son and grandsons good manners....a special mention to number 15.

3. Don't tell your boyfriend that he doesn't love you just because he would rather spend his Saturday
lunch time in Ye Olde Frogge & Nightgowne with his mates than shovelling great piles of horse shit in
the stable.

To add to the list

1. Treat others in how you want to be treated yourself

2. Embrace life

3. Be individual and who you are. You dont need to be or look like someone else

4. Always seek to compremise over that of demands

5. Try to help others if you can do so, but do not feel guilty, if you are unable to

6. Believe in yourself and that you can succeed, but do not think you are entittled to everything.

7. Do not feel pressured into doing things you do not want to do.

8. Understand you cannot please everyone and do not feel guilty if you cannot

9. Live your life how you want to and not by the expectations of others.

10. Try not to carry the burden of the world on your shoulders

11. Learn to be happy for yourself

12. Do not fear love but embrace it.

13 Learn to take criticism with grace and understanding

14. Admit to your mistakes and learn from them. Dont try to blame others for when you make mistakes.

All good....but living life without putting so many expectations on yourself is a good rule also imo.
