My daughter is such a girly girl. Only dresses, hates getting dirty, grossed out by insects, loves the color pink, etc. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Let her be who she is. She's a perfectly normal little girl happy with who she is. Nothing wrong with that. I was a tomboy and my daughter is a girly girl. There's so many things she does that I can't relate to, but I wouldn't change her for anything. I love her just the way she is and for who she is. Don't try to change her....encourage it and embrace it. Help her to be strong and independent.

Right now she's a girly girl. That will probably change. Don't stress. It's important that she feels that you love her just the way she is.
Most kids are initially grossed out by insects because they don't know anything about them. Take her to a museum like Discovery Place so that she sees insects. Or buy some childrens books about insects. Teach her the itsy bitsy spider song.
If you get down and dirty yourself (gardening, whatever) she will learn that it is OK to get dirty. After you rake leaves, jump in the pile with her.
If you accept your daughter exactly the way she is, she will feel free to change.

why would you want to change her as long as she doesn't act like a little witch then let her be. I was pretty much a girlie girl when I was little. And pink to this day is still my favorite color. As she gets older she may start to like more things that aren't so girlie such as sports.

That's a part of who she is. Kids need to express themselves. She can still get exercise thru dance. She would probably love all the costumes. Let her be who she is, but try to introduce new things in a positive way. This could be a phase that she's going thru. My niece was that way from the time she was an infant. She's 5 now and plays T-ball. She has a pink mitt and helmet, but she's playing a sport and even getting a little dirty.

Let your child be who she is.. She will grow up with better self-esteem. If her parents don't want her to be who she is then she will think that no one will like her for who she is. My daughter leaves the house sometimes and I think oh my goodness people are going to think I am mad, but you know what she has started some trends in her school all of the kids love her and she has such a wonderful sense of self! If we teach them to be who they want to be and to make up there own minds they won't have such a hard time when they are older saying no to things they don't want to do ( sex drugs alcohol) Good Luck! Our job never ends!!!

one among my nieces did not commence fiddling with dolls until eventually eventually 3 or 4 and now she's smitten by dressing up like a princess. i imagine that's about the age women have a tendency to take that stuff on in the adventure that they are gonna. i imagine the component that stands proud maximum right here(to me besides)is how determined(please do not take offense to my use of that word)you're to re stay your adolescence by your daughter. If she likes Tiger's now i imagine that's cool. the most objective should be on her and what she likes no longer what you go with her to love. i'm no longer judging you BTW in basic terms making an commentary. whats up, right it is a compromise. Why do not you're making her B Day subject "Tiger Princesses", like you ought to gown up little crammed tigers in princess clothing or some thing.

That's fine. If it really bothers you, get her interested in sports like soccer or track, or (if you have a lot of money) figure skating. That will take her mind off of being pretty all the time. My mom always took me camping and I grew up loving the outdoors and have always enjoyed getting dirty. My point is that you come to like what's in front of you. Take her camping. The first time she may despise it, but by the second or third time she might be begging you to go. Who knows.

It's good because at least you know she's a girl. She may be vulnerable in this tough world we live in but there are no guarantees. I guess she's a born lady princess. I won't mind the insect thing, girls who aren't freaked by those are tom boyish.

Sounds like the cutest thing in the world. Let her have her girly time. It doesn't last much longer. She will probably grow out of it. How could you not like that?
