how do you no you raise your daughter right

Hi lawgirl, welcome to mylot and happy myloting. I ever teach my daughter to do the right things, never do for others what she don't want for her, never believe that she is better than anyone because she have more money or because her skin color. Never have any kind of preconception and ever be polite with others. Well, I think that she become a nice person and everyone like her. For my it is a right way to raise my daughter having respect and responsability. cheers

I dont think there is a right or a wrong way to raise any child it all depends on whats right for for family and its up to you how you address different issues as they come up. Right now I am raising three daughters some of the things I make sure to do every day is to tell them that they are beautiful and smart and I compliment them on other things I notice them doing well. I do this because I never want them to feel they are good enough, they are good enough to have the best guy they can find, job house whatever they deserve it all and growing up being told that will make them believe it and work hard to achieve it. But dont think I want them to think their high and mighty or anything like that, I also teach them not to judge other people and whenever they do something that might make someone feel bad, instead of a punishment I sit them down and make them imagine themselves in a similar position so they know how it would feel and they usually feel pretty bad and go to apologize without me even asking them to. Also we dont usually reward with material things instead we give special time like saying if nobody gets a demerit for the school year then the last day of school we go to an amusement park so they have something to work for but the reward is something fun and creates a memory rather then an object that will mean nothing as soon as the novelty wears off. There are alot of other things but to sum it up Id say lots of compliments, attention, helping them be good, caring people, set a good example for them, and make them focus on the important things

I thought I would add my two cents to this discussion, everyone has given great advice so far. I have 3 girls - the oldest 11 and the youngest 5. They are all so different, but were raised the same way. So some of the advice we get will work and some won't because each child is so unique. The best advice I have received is to be consistent. Both my husband and myself agree on parenting decisions, and if we don't the kids don't know this. We discuss our parenting in private and both are willing to give in when the other feels strongly about something. It is also important for the girls to know that our relationship is important and we don't let them put themselves between us all the time. But most importantly, we have a core set of beliefs that we hold true about our Walk with the Lord, and these are at teh basis of all we do and believe in. Hope this helps.
