Seeking Validation
It’s no news that our society treats girls and boys differently when growing up, but it’s also a stigma to talk about the actual consequences of this practice. Educating boys on certain subjects is easier for most parents, but as girls are left aside, new self-esteem issues are created for the women of the future.
It’s important to understand what we teach our daughters by choosing what not to teach them. Depriving them of education and information also teaches them something, even if you don’t mean to. These kinds of conversations are hard, but choosing not to have them or inciting fear will only create confused children and frustrated adults later on.
