Have you read this yet? We read, How to Talk to Little Girls, by Lisa Bloom the other day and it gave us pause. How many times have we said, “I love your dress!” or “you’re so cute!” when meeting a little girl (or boy for that matter)? The short answer, a lot.
“What’s wrong with that? It’s our culture’s standard talking-to-little-girls icebreaker, isn’t it? And why not give them a sincere compliment to boost their self-esteem? Because they are so darling I just want to burst when I meet them, honestly. Hold that thought for just a moment.”
Intrigued? The short article is a good read and might just get you thinking of some more creative conversation starters.
Happy reading!
