![]() ![]() I was reminded about this book last week when a friend told me about a challenge his daughter was having with other girls during her practices. I encouraged my kids to view their anatomical characteristics and their skill sets as gifts bestowed upon them to enable them to achieve greatness. ![]() I also aimed to teach them about self-esteem, staying true to their passions and becoming comfortable in their skin. My goal at story time was not to just read books that entertained my kids. Instead of reading books of choice before bed, we were reading textbooks and working on school projects. I think the reading at night stopped as homework demands increased and after school activities shortened the amount of time we had left for reading before bedtime. While many parents stop reading books to their kids after age six or seven, I kept reading books at night for as many years as it made sense. I bought the book “Dancing in the Wings” by Debbie Allen for my daughter when she was about eight years old. ![]()
