I love quotes! I use them a lot throughout my blog and social media posts. The reason they resonate with me so much is that I find them: thought-provoking, motivational, inspiring, educational, enlightening and sometimes amusing.
I’m always sharing quotes with my daughter or borrowing from them. Just the other night we were talking about school friendships. I said to her “A good friend will never dull your sparkle, remember that.” It was my way of explaining to her that a good friend will never put you down or intentionally upset you. Good friends uplift you!
Quotes can be a fantastic way to teach your little girl about life topics
Some important life topics are:
- Understanding bullying
- Being positive
- Having self-belief
- Always being yourself
- Being kind
- Having good friendships
The magical thing about all of the above, is that they weave beautifully into each other. You see, if you are kind, you will not be a bully and that makes you a good friend. You then feel good about being yourself. When you feel good about yourself, you are positive and with positivity comes self-belief.
So, with all of this in mind, here are some inspiring quotes to share with your daughter.
