Here are some inspiring quotes to share with your daughter.

You’ll notice I use quotes 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 amusing.

Sharing Quotes with your Daughter

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.

Referring to inspirational quotes can be a fantastic way to teach your daughter about some important life topics.

Some of these are –

  • understanding bullying
  • being positive
  • having self-belief
  • always being yourself
  • always being kind
  • having good friendships

The magical thing about all of the above topics 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 this in mind, here are some inspiring quotes to share with your daughter.
