Becki participated in the Live Talk Empowering Girls With Rachel Simmons
It's such a struggle to teach my daughter the balance between being cooperative and getting along without always giving in and losing who she is. I'm not sure I've completely learned this myself.
Bestselling author and founder of the Girls Leadership Institute, Rachel Simmons, will lead a Talk on helping our daughters to discover and embrace the best parts of their authentic selves. Bring your questions, your stories of raising your daughters and we'll all learn skills for our girls (and us!) to live with integrity, personal authority and self-awareness.
Becki participated in the Live Talk Empowering Girls With Rachel Simmons
I have a 9 year old daughter whose neighborhood friend, A, will come over, play with my daughter for a little while, and then suggest they call a third friend. I've allowed it, but inevitably A starts playing with the third girl, and my daughter gets left out. It makes me feel like my daughter is being used--and like I'm being used to host a playdate that A's mom wouldn't.

Has anyone had the experience of having your PPD (or other diagnosis) minimized by people who say, "Oh, it's just 'baby blues?'" How do you deal with that (or stand up for someone else who's getting it)?

I know when I feel depressed, I tend to not reach out to others, and to isolate myself at home a lot. I would imagine a mom with PPD would do so as well--not to mention she has a small infant to tend to at home. How to tell if a friend is just busy with her new baby, or suffering in silence, if you don't see or hear from her?

Becki posted on Forum Discussion Three Things I'm Grateful for Today
Studies show that focusing on what you're grateful for instead of what's going wrong makes you healthier and happier. It's simple. Every day look for things that are good in your life--then make a record of them here.
