“I wish my mom knew that if she didn’t yell so much our family would be happier.”
“We are not the same people. Things that work for you will not always work for me.”
“I’m scared of being judged.”
“I wish they knew to let me handle my school work/my grade because I can talk to my teacher but when my parents do, it makes it seem like I’m afraid to talk to my teacher. “
“I wish my parents knew how hard schoolwork is, and how hard it is to have friends.”
“I wish they knew how to react to things that I feel proud of.”
“Living with my brothers is hard.”
These are some of the responses I got when I asked girls in grades 4th-8th to write down (anonymously) what they wish there parents knew that would help them.
I found their responses fascinating. I love hearing the girls perspectives.
Parents, what do you wish your daughters knew about you that would help you? Leave a comment BELOW!
