Today I was proud to be my own walking billboard! Even the pediatrician couldn't help but ask about GALS! Woman's rights matter and it's our job as mothers, woman and parents to teach them this! Promoting healthy, worthwhile relationships!

Do you spend time with your daughter? Do you listen to what she says to you? Do you ask your daughter how she feels about her life? Do you make time to be silly and let go of the "perfect" facade? Are you present for your daughter? Does your daughter respect you? More importantly, does your daughter know that you love her?

If your daughter were to describe you, what would she say?

Your daughter needs you to be the example of the great woman she will become one day!

Growing up as a young girl, should be about the confidence, smiles and friendships that are created not the negative backlash that comes from the media and mean girls.

Teach your girls to love and forgive and to be the change we need to see in the world.

My daughter told me that a girl in her school was changing for gym in the locker room. Her "friend" secretly took picture of her undressed. The picture, of course, ended up on social media, resulting in embarrassment, humiliation, and taunting.

A lot of the girls refuse to change, and they are forced to take a zero for phys ed., and I certainly understand why.
With the amount of money taxpayers pay for school taxes, why don't schools provide cubbies or curtains so the kids don't have to undress or shower in front of the entire class? - Anonymous

This story was shared by someone on my personal page, today. I am sharing this because I believe that situations like this happen way too often. Mom's, Parent's, and Caregiver's - WE must teach our young girls that this type of behavior is NOT acceptable!!! How would you feel if this was your child? How would you feel if she called you crying because of what some other girl had done to her and how she was exposed? When it's not your child, it doesn't always hit home. Schools are supposed to protect our girls. I can assure you, when I say that I speak from personal experience, that despite all the anti-bullying programs that have been put into place, bullying has not stopped in the schools. Speaking as a mom, WE all need to be the example for our children. It is the only way for it to change.
