Did you know that overdoing compliments can make your daughter insecure?
Praising every little thing your daughter does may make her feel good in the moment but it can also give her an inflated sense of self-esteem. To develop into a healthy, confident woman someday, she needs to have a sense of both her personal strengths and those areas in which she does not show particular strength or talent. A realistic appraisal of herself will allow your daughter to truly own and feel pride in her successes, to be motivated to continue to grow and challenge herself, and to accept her imperfections with grace. This is where true self-esteem lives.
