Breanna is my oldest daughter. She’s eleven.
She’s thoughtful, helpful, crafty, and beautiful inside and out. She also loves to run. No, she’s not on a track team, and she doesn’t compete with anyone other than her family members at the moment. But still, she loves to run.
Playing and Running Like a Girl
Breanna is obviously a girl, and while we want her to “play like a girl” — which to me means giving it her all while being respectful and careful at the same time, we also want her to be strong and confident in herself and her abilities.
I grew up with four very tough brothers who loved to play sports. I learned how to adapt to the challenges and play sports right along with them. Basically, I learned to play and succeed in sports at home, which gave me the confidence to later on play sports in school – on a team.
I’d share pictures, but this is the internet after all, and I’m afraid they’d never disappear. π
Anyway, here are 5 Ways We Encourage Breanna and How You Can Encourage Your Daughter to Play Like a Girl – A Strong Girl:
- Cheer her on.
- Give her opportunities to do what she loves.
- Share words of affirmation.
- Do what you can to motivate her.
- Provide inspiration.
Looking Ahead
I’m so incredibly blessed to be Breanna’s mom, and I’m looking forward to watching her run and cheering her on for years to come!
