I introduced the subject, and now would like your opinion about what we are talking about at this week's Girl Scout meeting: HOW TO TALK WITH A BOY (that you are interested in). (And how to talk with ANYONE!)
Some of my girls have started dating, others haven't. One of my Girl Scout's parents came up with this subject, and I think it is very apt - no matter whether you grew up in the 1920's or in the 21st century, how to talk with the opposite sex has been a mystery for many of us. Many books have been written about communication between men and women. So - what advice would you give to my girls about talking with the opposite sex?
I wish I'd known more about alternatives to college - I had no clue what I wanted to do, and really didn't know until I had graduated and started working! A "gap" year would have been great, but my family expected me to go to college so I did, but drifted a lot.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the fact that not everyone enjoys college. A lot of people feel homesick if they are away, a lot of people, especially girls, feel they don't fit in, they feel they have to conform, they feel they have to pretend to be happy ...
ReplyDeleteHow to handle money and best practices for growing wealth so that they are independent, can retire with dignity, and are able to give well to causes they deem worthy. (I've been learning about this for the first time because of a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace book I picked up at Goodwill-one of the best finds ever!)
ReplyDeleteI was ready to leave home, thanks to GS mainly. I knew how to handle money, thanks to my Credit Manager dad. I mistakenly thought that the Women's movement was over and we were all equal. I was always treated with equality and respect as a female in my family. College was an eye opener that not everyone thought and acted this way, both males and females could be repressive of females. Be strong and carry on.
