Times are changing, and so are our girls. Everything is moving forward: the time for changing teeth has been advanced to kindergarten and the physiological period has been advanced to primary school. These are still obvious changes. In the book What's happening to our girls, author Hamilton suggested that girls are at least four years ahead of us. What does a four-year gap mean? It means that if you observe your daughter with your own experience, your guidance will lose its meaning.
Most importantly, the environment in which girls live has changed more. As Steve, the author of Raising Girls, said, our girls, their present and future, are destined to be richer and more difficult than us. Both the Internet and the media are advocating many irresponsible things, such as sexiness, violence, plastic surgery, thinness and even sex.
In the past 10 years, the greedy business world not only benefited from mature women, but also gradually adjusted its eyes to infants and pre-adolescent girls.
Expensive princess dresses, toys with gender colors, and children's beauty contests and drafts for children are really what we girls need? Should we girls be the same: chest and thighs with awl faces and big eyes? Do they have to cut themselves and their faces to satisfy the eyes of the media?
Five stages of raising girls
Seeing this, you may have to rethink this girl's growth route like me. For girls, more protection is not enough. We need to cultivate a girl with a strong heart. And if you want to raise such a girl, you need to work hard from an early age. Let's talk about the five key stages of raising girls:
Five stages of girls' growth:
The first stage: sense of security-whether I am safe and loved (born-2 years old)
The second stage: exploration-whether the world is an interesting place full of happiness (2 -5 years old)
The third stage: interacting with people-can I get along with people? (5-10 years old)
The fourth stage: Know your heart-can I find my hidden self? (10 years old-14 years old)
Stage 5: Step into the world of recognition-can I be responsible for myself? (14 years old-18 years old)
You may also have your own views on the division of these five stages, but let's see how the author expounds it.
