Mine is going to hit puberty soon, and my plan is to make sure she provides value. I'm not going to preach to her that she should avoid dating, that won't happen. Her mom will try to teach her things, and I have to undo that.

I try to give her as much love and attention as I can, but I refuse to give her trophies for showing up.

I plan to challenge her thinking a lot. I will ask her what value she provides in a relationship, and all comments about being cute I will deflect with innocent statements. "But I'm cute!" "So are puppies. What makes you special?"

It's going to be quite a challenge.

I'm teaching my daughter that there is no value in being given things. She will only find value in things she provides for herself.

I'm teaching her that all relationships are to be equitable; you balance what you take with what you receive, and anytime a relationship becomes unequal you cut it loose.

I'm teaching her to have honor in all things; speak the truth, do the right thing, value herself above all others.

I'm teaching her that the world will try to corrupt her because she's a blond haired, blue eyed girl, and that that corruption will leave her feeling empty and devoid of value. Never accept handouts, never accept being treated disrespectfully and never treat others with disrespect.

We've discussed the concept of self agency, but it's hard for children to grasp that; it's not really a concept that can be fully taught or explored until people are adults.

These are just a few things I'm trying to teach her.
