My little girl is my everything I want her to grow up and be all she can be and in this day in age its hard to try to raise your kids right. To much things on tv for them to get influence by. The music is not helping out either. So if u shve children let me know what u think.

You need to do your best and not blame yourself if your children don't turn out the way you want them to. Give them good values, increasing amount of independence, and solid, unconditional love. Don't go overboard like so many parents do now and praise everything she does or lavish her with too many material things. Teach her how to deal with the pressures of the outside world and that saying "no" is always her option. None of us are born knowing how to parent, but most of us seem to muddle through somehow. If you really try, you'll succeed. I know I did!

I love my children very much also, and they have grown into fine young adults, and I did it on my own! With the results I got anyone can do it, even in what is now today's society a huge challenge!

I also wanted to point out that SOCIETY is SO wrong. Daughters (and sons) should know this. It seems lately that a LOT of "stars" are starving themselves and getting sickly looking JUST to fit in and land the next big part. We need to teach our kids to eat right and excersize so they don't feel the pressures of this nasty world.

Well TV is sometimes really a big influence, in our family we have restricted the time of tv viewing for ourselves as well as kids, he is given one hour of cartoons viewing.

I have 2 children who are grown now they are 19 and 22 and they are great
Have grown into lovely People
You need to try and control what she sees on TV the hardest bit is trying to keep her from the wrong crowed
Always show her love and always teach her right from wrong tell her about the bad things and right and wrong and hopefully she will not be influenced by others that is the biggest Hurdle to go over
I hope for you that it goes ok

Awe how sweet. How old is she. My son is 21 but it was tough raising him. You can't protect them from everything. All you can do is do the best you can and hope that she turns out well. Now I have grandchildren to worry about and I still worry about my son. That never stops. Good luck to you.

i have three children myself. two boys and my own little angel. there was and always will be something going on that will or will not influence our children. i am a firm believer that id you teach them right, be honest, ask question, and treat them as people and not just your children, be their parent not their friend. love them, love them, them but not smother, you angel will be just fine.

Children (especially girls) have always looked up to their mothers (or another female role model) and copied what they do. I think it's important for girls to see healthy relationships between men and women, know what it means to be modest, know the importance of education and reading, know that the world is hers to be whatever she wants to be and also know that she is loved.
