32. A Girl's Self-Worth - Parenting Teens & Those Who Will Be, Part 1- a Discussion with Victoria Dahilig

Part 1 of Parenting Middle School and High School girls.  If your kids are younger than this age, please listen also.  Intentional Mom, now is the time to determine where you stand on many complex issues and now is the time to begin impacting your daughter's perspective while also planting seeds of the right values.  Then too, if you are a mom with girls in this stage right now , you are needing some clarity of mind on all the complex issues you are currently facing.  My prayer is that this two-part series will provide that for you. Click for Val's Blog post with additional Parent Helps on this topicIn this first part, we're looking at the complex messages that the culture is telling your daughter.  We look at the UNIQUE ROLES of moms and dads and how each shape their daughter's perspective about herself.  Your daughter is watching you (even in the teenage years).  Mom, she's seeing how you treat yourself - both in words and actions.  And, Dad, she's watching you too -to see how you treat her, her mom, and all the women around you.  Are you living out the same values and perspectives that you want your daughter to have about herself? What's your daughter's view of MODESTY, SELF-PERCEPTION, her SELF-WORTH? How are you shaping her definition of  BEAUTY according to God’s perspective instead of culture’s perspective. NOW is when you shape their perspective about RELATIONSHIPS, helping them see that their value is NOT DEPENDENT on having the approval or acceptance of any boy or their ability to get a boyfriend.  We'll go into more about  relationships and other topics in Part 2.RESOURCES MENTIONED in this episode* Click Here to go to her Facebook community Intentional Mom, Strong Family Val's Podcast Episode 6:  Send Val your encouragement and thoughts about the show.Support the showVisit Val's website: PracticallySpeakingMOM.comJoin Val's Facebook Group Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyFollow Val on Instagram and her Facebook Public Page Practically Speaking MOMWe're on a mission to strengthen families.Want to help cover some of the costs of the show? click here.
